Heavy Rain 🌧️
☔️ During long periods of heavy rain, sewers can become overwhelmed.
💧 The sheer volume of rain can sometimes make it impossible for the sewers to cope with the extra water.
🌊 When sewers are unable to take the water away quickly enough, this can cause flooding.
🌦️ Climate change is making extreme weather such as heavy rain cause sewers to be unable to quickly take the water away. This type of flooding is becoming more common.
👷🏻♂️ You can reduce the impact of this type of flooding by installing items like flood gates to protect your home.
📍If flooding like this affects many properties in your area, your local council or the Environment Agency may have to help to find long term solutions.
