Our climate is changing rapidly, leading to an unprecedented increase in severe weather events, such as floods. Even smaller incidents, like heavy rainfall or flash floods, can have significant financial impacts:
Did you know:
- One in four insurance claims for flood damage comes from homeowners outside of high-risk areas.
- As little as 2.5 cm of floodwater can result in property damage costs exceeding €23,000.
- Flood or water damage is excluded from most standard insurance policies.
- Installing a flood barrier can directly help reduce your insurance premiums.
The rapid changes in weather have heightened the risk of flooding, even for homes located in traditionally low-risk areas.
