How to find out how high the risk of flooding is

A building inspector or independent contractor will be required to conduct an inspection of properties in high-risk locations. Having experts on-hand to offer guidance, spot vulnerable locations, and set up flood control measures is always helpful.

The potential entry points for water, such as doors, windows, air bricks, plumbing, basements, and garages are identified. An on-site specialist may advise on what could be best for you, considering nearby houses, recent floods, and sewers.

You will receive a report with all assessment information on the danger of flooding, including the depth, length, kind, and frequency. Additionally, all exposed locations in the house are identified to see what can be changed to protect them.

What does it mean if you are high-risk?

Homeowners have a 1% to 3% chance of experiencing a flood each year if they live in a high-risk location, which varies from low to high risk for flooding. Statistically, you are significantly more likely to experience a flood than a burglary, even if this is by a small amount.

There is a 0.1% possibility of flooding in a low-risk area. Your home can be affected by a coastal, river, or surface water flood depending on your location.

You may have to pay extra for flood insurance if you live in a high-risk area, but you won't be less likely to qualify for a mortgage. There is a joint government-backed programme that lowers the cost of flooding insurance if you worry that you could have trouble paying for your house insurance.

What to do during a flood

If there is a flood in your neighbourhood, you must leave as soon as it is safe to. However, if you must stay inside your home, do not go outdoors during a storm. If you are in imminent danger, dial 999 to get assistance from emergency services. You should:

• Not drive in floodwaters
• Not traverse flooded areas
• Keep pets and children away from floodwaters

You may be at risk of drowning, getting swept away, or getting injured by falling or moving items if you interact with flood waters in any manner. The floodwaters may contain sharp debris and electrical dangers, and toxins in the water might cause sickness.
