FLOODING

The vendors moved to Greyfriars Avenue in 1970’s so have lived at the address for over 50 year because the location is so convenient to access the City of Hereford. The mains sewer within the highway now have non-return valves to stop any flood water backing up the drains. The property has certain precautions that if implemented correctly keep water out of the house which include, baffles across the doors and windows on the ground floor. A submersible pump under the floor which has a float switch that comes on should any water get close to the house and pumps the water onto the front drive. The Environment Agency has been pledged millions of pounds via Government Grants to install flood defenses along Greyfriars Avenue, across the frontages of each dwelling and that is in the process of being organized. Each house has Flood Insurance in place and most houses have benefited from insurance backed renovation.
