A Flood Safe House - A safe way to build homes in flood zones
Join us as we learn about the Hadley FloodSafe House™ a safe way to build homes in flood zones – a game changing innovation.
The numbers
- 250,000 new houses are built in the UK every year, 10% in flood zones 1 and 3.
- 33 (10%) Local Authorities built 15,000 (60%) of new houses in Flood Zones
A solution
A Hadley Floodsafe House that raises up to 1.5m above flood water thus protecting the house, which means tenants/owners can return to their homes after a flood event with no costly repairs required to the house.
About the inventor: Andrew Parker
Andrew, a builder by trade, witnessed a friend’s house be flooded and watched the devastating effect it had on his friend and his family and believed there must be a solution. He then spent the several years developing a prototype working with industry partners which has resulted in a totally innovative solution of a Floodsafe House, which will challenge the norm.
