520			_aFlooding is becoming more common in the UK because of climate change, increased development on floodplains and the ineffectiveness and availability of flood defences and drainage systems. Looks at approaches that householders can take to make their properties more resistant to flooding including flood protection products. Considers the benefits of changing repair specifications to adopt more floodresistant materials and techniques. Advises owners of flood affected properties to get specialist advice from appropriately experienced surveyors or engineers in consultation with their insurers. References.
