Typical day
Just spent 2 hours on the phone to loss adjuster, builder, flood recovery and insurance and got absolutely nowhere. Builder cannot do anything as he is waiting for loss adjuster. Loss adjuster out of office until Wednesday next week and they think he may have my file with him. Insurance haven't got a clue about anything,…

Preparing For When The Water Supply Is Reconnected
I don't know if all this information is absolutely gospel, but it couldn't hurt: Once your water has gone off, or, if possible, preferably just before it does and you still have a small amount of water pressure in the pipe, turn off your water at the main stop tap and leave that tap switched firmly off for the duration.…

Nightmare with flood damage claim
First of all can I say that now I'm in the middle of what is in essence a small claim for a flooded cellar I truly admire anybody who is having to go through this for a whole house flood. I can honestly say that my insurance policy and £780 a year premium just isn't worth it. My sorry tale: Came back off holiday to find…

Any longer only wastes water (through evaporation), wastes fuel (by using more than you need to) and can have the effect of…
