Thousands of families now find themselves dwelling in flood plains, and live with the looming threat that they can be hit with flood damage practically without warning. With the recent flood activity that's been experienced across the UK, and the ensuing damages that property owners have had to face; people have experienced a lot of difficulty attempting to find an insurance company that will provide flood risk insurance coverage. Increases in the number of areas facing possible flooding has increased over the years, and the number is expected to continue to grow with the erosion of the polar ice caps caused by global warming.

Flood insurance cover is vital in uncertain times when families can't afford the unexpected expense of replacing valuable assets. It is a common occurrence for a policy holder to experience devastation from a damaging storm that destroys their treasured belongings, and then receive heart breaking news from their insurance agent who has to tell them that they're not covered for much or all of their losses.
