One misconception of flooding is that it can only happen winter. This is not true, flash flooding can occur all year round. Nearly 24% of flood claims now occur in July & August. Download our Misconceptions of flooding resource here: thefloodhub.co.uk/wp-content/upl…

🚰 #Sewer #flooding stems from blockages caused by misuse of the system, like flushing unsuitable items. Heavy rainfall can also overload it, risking property damage. Water companies manage #flood risk from public sewers & #utility pipes. thefloodhub.co.uk/wp-content/upl…

🌧️ #Flashflooding can strike suddenly with intense rainfall, posing risks in dry land or urban areas with limited drainage capacity. Steep valleys increase vulnerability. Learn more about flash flooding: thefloodhub.co.uk/wp-content/upl…

🌊 Road #flooding can occur due to blocked gullies and drains. The highway authority, like the County Council or @HighwaysEngland, manages #flood risk on #roads. Report flooding to your local council. Learn more: thefloodhub.co.uk/am-i-at-risk/#…

Summer is a great time for a spot of external maintenance. #flood water will find it's wicked way in through poorly maintained mortar & through air bricks. The self closing airbrick ( pictured) can stop that!

#Flooding happens during summer months too. Surface water #floods could happen tomorrow. Make sure you are prepared! Preparation can really reduce the misery. Wide aluminum tape can stop water entering your home via the bricks! Wide Gaffer tape helps slow the water through doors

Traditional hessian #sandbags are not the best option for flood defence as they are heavy, easily rot and are not always available at the time of #flooding! Find out why alternative sandbags are a better option: thefloodhub.co.uk/wp-content/upl…

Why is it that during #floods, drivers all over our country have no regard for 'road closed' signs & drive through flood water, forcing bow waves of water into people's homes? Show some compassion BBC News - 'Arrogant' drivers ignored flood road closures bbc.com/news/articles/…
