Spring is here but so are the rain showers that accompany
the season! Is your static holiday home protected against the possibility of
flood damage?
A few smart decisions and techniques could mean your static
caravan is safe and sound. Here are our top tips on preparing your caravan for
the spring showers:
Choose higher
ground
Many holiday parks in the UK are especially designed on
higher grounds to prevent any flood damage to homes which are set up there –
consider one such park for your caravan! Higher ground means less water logging
and protection even during the heavier spring showers.
Seal your
caravan
Water is most likely to get in to your holiday home through
the air vents and door seals. Invest on sealing these areas well before the
summer begins to ensure that your caravan stays dry and cosy!
Remove
valuables
Remove any valuable items that can be damaged by water
before the rainy season begins! This is also a good idea because if you are not
able to reach the site due to bad weather, at least you can rest assured that
there are no valuables in the caravan.
Be aware
It’s a good idea to get informed about where to obtain
sandbags and other aids that can assist against floods, before the bad weather
sets in. Keep all phone numbers and addresses handy to avoid a last minute
panic!
Avoid deep
valleys
Safety should be the foremost priority when choosing a
location for your static holiday home and although the beauty of a valley may
be tempting, it is also an area that will be worst affected by water damage.
Awareness and advanced planning can save you from a great
deal of anxiety and last minute panic. Keep an eye on weather forecasts and
prepare your static caravan in advance so that it is ready to face spring
showers.
