Well you have my sympathy but you need to get your house properly
flood proofed.
There are two levels.
1. Keeping the water out.
2. If the house floods minimum damage is done.

There are lots of things can be done so that even if the house floods,
it only takes a few days to clear up.

You should have done this last time.

Sorry, harry I can't access your link.
BUT we have done everything the insurers insisted we should do, and again
we have water everywhere. I am meeting them at 13.00 (1pm)

This isn't a river bursting its banks, but poor management and maintenance
from Anglian and Severn Trent. We have never had this in S****horpe before
this year.

Which suggests that the manmade infrastructure was adequately designed
for all previously experienced weather conditions in the area.

So it is not classed as a flood zone. It is pure neglect and
cost reduction/cutting.

How could any amount of planning/ man made infrastructure in a non-
flood-zone, foresee or forestall such exceptional conditions.
