What could happen:
Cause structural damage to your buildings. Basements and ground floor rooms are particularly at risk.
Saline flooding is more corrosive than fluvial flooding and will cause plaster to ‘bloom’ long after the wall has dried out. Lime plasters are also very susceptible to salt intrusion.
What could you do:
Check options for improved site drainage (e.g. sustainable drainage systems (SUDs), permeable surfaces)
Where can you get further help
Further information about SUDs, including planning guidance and technical advice can be found on the Environment Agency website
The National Flood Forum Blue Pages is a directory of builders, suppliers and other service providers who install or provide information on flood protection and resilience products.
