Floods.

Floods can cause extensive and irreversible damage to your home and personal belongings. If your home is in an area prone to flooding you should talk to your insurer about the flood provisions in your buildings and/or contents insurance to ensure you have adequate cover. It is very important that you know:

  • what you are covered for; and
  • what preventative measures your insurer expects you to take.

Make sure you advise your insurer of any recent or planned flood defences in your area. Your local council and/or Environment Agency should be able to provide you with this information.
