The loss adjuster works for the insurer. The contractor works for whoever signs their invoices. RISE works exclusively for the homeowner.
Every flood that goes unreported is a flood that never officially happened. Don't wait for a second flood to prove the first one happened — get your personalised Section 19 Case Assessment today, delivered to your inbox within 15 minutes.

Founded on direct experience — two floods · two years displaced · £2m+ of council-funded works secured
Barriers, drainage, and the physical defences that stop the next flood at the threshold — and the council-funded infrastructure that should be protecting your street.
Property ReviewBuild Back Better entitlements, resilient materials, and rebuild decisions that mean the next flood costs days — not another two years of your life.
Build Back BetterYour insurance paid in full, your rebuild done properly, and your council held to its statutory Section 19 obligations — the stage where RISE has secured £2m+ in works.
Section 19 AssessmentCall before you call the insurer. The decisions made in the first 72 hours define the entire recovery. Most flood victims make at least two costly mistakes before anyone independent arrives.
Emergency GuidanceYou are still in the critical window. The scope hasn't been signed off, the rebuild hasn't started. There is still time to change how this goes.
Guidance ServiceThe rebuild is underway, the loss adjuster is making decisions. Something is wrong — and you don't yet have the language to say precisely what it is.
Talk to RISEWhen your home floods, every professional who arrives is working for someone else. The information gap between what you know and what you need to know costs flood victims tens of thousands of pounds.
Read the RISE StoryThey don't tell you what your accommodation budget really covers.
A £50,000 headline limit may fund just 6–8 months of rental once utilities, council tax, removal, and storage are deducted. A typical recovery takes 9–18 months.
They don't tell you about Build Back Better.
Up to £10,000 per flood event for flood resilience measures — available since 2022. Most homeowners never know it exists. Some who do are still denied it through the broker channel.
They don't tell you the rebuild isn't flood-resilient.
BS 85500:2025 and Ciria C790 define the standard. Most insurer-appointed contractors do not work to it. The rebuild looks finished. The vulnerability remains.
They don't tell you the cause may be someone else's responsibility.
Collapsed culverts, failed highway drains — infrastructure failures that belong to councils and water companies. Nobody appointed by your insurer has any incentive to identify this.
They don't tell you not claiming has consequences.
Self-funding costs an average of £30,000. You lose any Build Back Better entitlement. The work is done without oversight or warranty.
They don't tell you about DPM continuity.
The most preventable cause of a second flood. Once screed is poured over a severed damp proof membrane, the damage is invisible — until the water comes again.
Policy review, accommodation budget reality check, loss adjuster briefing, and claim decision support. From £500.
