FAQ

MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

My Insurance Company has Denied My Insurance Claim for a Recent Flood Event. Can You Write a Report to Counter their Refusal?

An insurance company would only refuse a claim based on the advice from a engineer. You should be able to obtain a copy of their engineers flood report that was used to rule on the claim. As part of our assessment we would generally review the insurers report. We would work to determine the cause of flooding regardless of the findings of the insurers report. Sometimes we agree with the insurers report and other times we disagree.

We would only prepare a flood emergency management plan if we believe that the risk to the development can be mitigated with the use of an FEMP. For example, sometimes a development should not occur because the risk of isolation, injury or damages cannot be mitigated because there is little warning time prior to a flood event. Site users would be caught unaware and unable to escape flood water and therefore the FEMP would be pointless.

There are many different types of reports we complete, some of which are not listed here. It would be appropriate to make contact with our office and discuss your needs with one of our engineers.

My family needed some urgent advice in relation to future possible flood levels and storm water issues that could affect our property in the future, as we wish to build another dwelling on the property and needed council permission. Out time range was short due to various reasons and instead of waiting out the usual time frames that experts are quoting these days due to the number of projects they have on the go, Steve and Anthony were able to assist us within a few days. We thank you for that guys; it’s taken a lot of pressure off us from the build point of view. As I understand the work that Storm Water Consulting do they also offer services that deal with non-flood reports such as flood risk management and insurance reports as well as a plethora of other services, none of which we required fortunately. I would highly recommend this business.

I engaged Storm Water Consulting to perform an Overland Flow assessment of my property in Wooloowin. I was very pleased with the communication, professionalism, promptness and willingness to try and work with me that Pavle did to attempt to achieve the desired outcome. While the result was not as I had hoped, it was due to QLD Government flood maps and nothing that Pavle or Storm Water Consulting could do to change that. If you have a difficult site to work with I can thoroughly recommend Pavle and Storm Water Consulting to try their best within the rules, regulations and laws.

Their reports are detailed, precise, and are exactly want Council need to approve building works in areas that have flood and overland flow issues. I highly recommend Storm Water Consulting for all of your flood survey requirements.
