A mother has described the experience of her March home flooding at Christmas as ‘absolutely devastating’.
Sophie Brammer has been staying in a hotel with her partner Dan Saunders and their seven-year-old son since early January - and the stay has been extended as their home still hasn’t dried out.
What’s made the experience even worse is that they didn’t have contents insurance, and could only save just a handful of items.
Every room of Sophie Brammer s home in Morton Avenue, March, was flooded at Christmas 2020.
The next morning, Chrissie had six inches of water in her kitchen and bathroom and three inches in her lounge.
Luckily, they had been to get small items and personal possessions upstairs before the water levels reached too high.
He said: “Every time it’s expected to rain, she’s nervous about what the outcome will be. During the bad weather last week, my partner slept on the sofa close to the phone in case we had to get to mum quickly.”
He added: “It’s no way for any of us to live – and we’re not the only ones going through this.
