Been keeping an eye on this thread but didn't really know what to say. I hope things will be sorted soon for you. Absolutely horrible thing to happen xx
Thanks to a team of family & friends, we have managed to clear the flooring out, empty cupboards & pump out the water.
We now have electric & heating so will be able to move home tomorrow and live upstairs for a few months until everything dries out.
If you look at the front door & the wooden fireplace, you can see the water level.
Glad you can get back in, will be a long slog getting it dry and back to normal but you will get there. Some houses in my town in 2000 had water up to the first floor! One of those was one we looked at to buy a few years earlier - so pleased we didn't go for it.

Are your insurance company sending the industrial dryers in. It would speed the drying time up. My friend had them.

When someone tells you nothing is impossible, tell them to go slam a revolving door

Agree with fussy - keep at your insurance company and get the driers in - you are saving them money by moving back in and not into rented accommodation/hotel!
Oh no, that makes it worse, is there anything we can do to help? We're you able to rescue all your cm stuff? Or would a parcel of craft stuff or toys help?
I find it unacceptable that you should be stuck with no insurance in a property you probably can't sell because of no insurance, even if you wanted to, and that property either shouldn't have been built where it is, or had been put in jeopardy by some other hair brained engineering upstream. The government should step in and make insurance companies help you, and cap what they charge. maybe then the insurance companies would cough up for better flood defences on each property and so prevent this misery. Rant over! Sorry!

Have to agree with you!!! I was listening how flood defences were built to save a twin and flood the village instead! How is that right! Then people can't get insurance and lives are ruined!! I felt so sorry for one family who'd tried to build their own flood defence but the water was so high this time it went over the top!! Why when people try to help themselves are they never helped by others??! Rant away!!
