"Flood water has threatened our property numerous times. Over the past few years, we have been working to flood-proof our home. This has required several projects.
Firstly, our builder sealed the house three times, from the foundations up to the highest anticipated flood height, which for us, was 1.2m high.
Secondly, a new draining system was installed, allowing us to stay in the home and have functional water and sewerage systems.
Lastly, we purchased demountable flood barriers that are installed across all access points around the house.
Without the flood barriers, our home would have been completely inundated, but if we hadn’t had the house sealed and plumbing modified, the water still would have caused extensive damage.
It is important that all of these things are considered when flood-proofing your home."
