What is a flooding claim and who can make one?
Encrpted Recovery is representing homeowners affected by flooding, which they attribute to a new build housing development close to their homes. Residents who experience flooding could make a claim for compensation if the problem only occurred after nearby land was developed.
In times of heavy rainfall, surface flooding can occur if drainage systems become overloaded. This causes the water to flow over ground, as opposed to underground, resulting in affected areas becoming water-logged. In these cases, residents have reported water pooling in their gardens, damaging any landscaping and preventing their enjoyment of this space.
Issues relating to new build housing developments occur when a developer doesn’t invest in effective and sustainable drainage systems for the new site. In some cases, a developer will simply connect the new housing onto existing systems, which can cause them to become overloaded and result in flooding.
Another issue surrounding new build developments concerns water displacement. The development of land, which would previously have absorbed water, can mean the water is directed elsewhere. In these cases, people who’ve never experienced flooding before might suddenly find their land completely waterlogged.
