Flood and fire victims go through some of the most traumatic events imaginable which can completely devastate their lives. Even in lockdown, flood and fire victims who saw their homes ripped apart.

Storm Christoph struck in January, just two weeks into lockdown, which prompted evacuations of homes in the North West and North Wales. But there was initial confusion as to what people were supposed to do. Could they stay with friends? Did they have to stay in their bubbles? And what could response teams do?

Firefighters are still busy fighting blazes in the pandemic. According to Morgan Clark, there are around 30,000 house fires in the United Kingdom every year. In many cases, insurance claims can be made as they cover flood and fire damage as it is often covered in home insurance policies. 

But some people have had to seek legal advice instead because their policies do not cover fire or flood damage. With the right help and support, people can turn things around in time and CBS Waste can help with rebuilding lives.

How? The answer is that we can take away any waste or damaged items from the homes of flood and fire victims. Arranging for damaged goods from a flood or fire damaged house to be removed can be an important step in moving forward.
