A guide for homeowners wanting to reduce the impacts of flooding on their property.
Every property is different, and flood risks can vary depending on:
- your home’s layout
- how water moves around your property
- your level of flood risk
- the type of flooding affecting your area.
This guide focuses on two approaches:
External solutions – keeping water out where possible
Using landscaping, drainage, and building methods to help reduce water entering your home.
Internal solutions – designing for easier recovery
Using materials and layouts that are easier to clean, dry, and repair after flooding.
