Fighting Back The Floods

Image for Fighting Back The Floods

Looks like the severe floods we've encountered recently are an inevitable consequence of global warming .The sheer volume of rainfall is too much for our 100 year old drains around the city, but one way householders can protect themselves from water backing up through the sewerage system is to install what we call non-return valves. These are like a cat-flap that will only open out. They let the waste pass out and then close again to stop any water/waste returning. They are not 100% effective as they can stick open so they need to be serviced every now and again but if my house was constantly flooding up through the drains l'd put one in.

Here we see one in Kimmage being put in following recent flooding (again).
