Brendan Hunt, 54, has had to move his possessions upstairs and put his furniture on stilts.
A man who has been forced to evacuate his home due to flooding caused by Storm Babet is afraid the damage to his property “could be endless”.
He said: "Water was coming up through the storm drains and it just got deeper and deeper until one side of the road’s water joined the other side of the road. Mr Hunt added: “I think I’ve managed to save everything but I think if the water does come in, if not already, they are only chipboard floors. I think they are all going to have to be replaced because the water will have been contaminated with sewage.”
