How do your prevent flooding?

Protecting your own property with annual maintenance and clearing out of perimeter guttering along with annual inspections of drains, drainage and any waste pipes located directly on your land or within your gardens are major steps in flood prevention.

Prevention is always better than cure and this certainly applies to guttering. Almost every home has some form of guttering along with businesses and public buildings, that’s a lot of cleaning.
