Brighton and Hove have faced several flooding incidents over the past year. These events have damaged homes and businesses while posing significant health and environmental risks. Typically, experts attribute this flooding to heavy rainfall and high groundwater levels. These factors overwhelm drainage systems and cause sewers to overflow.
According to the Environment Agency, some of the worst affected areas include Patcham, Kemp Town, Preston Park, and Elm Grove. The agency has issued flood alerts for these regions and advised residents to check their pumps and drains. Nevertheless, many property owners still struggle with the aftermath. They require professional assistance to restore their properties effectively.
