Shannon, who lives on the street, said she is not insured.
"It is what it is, what can I do? I can't do anything about it. I just wish the council had done more," she said.
"I was told last night we were going to get flooded so last night they could've put sandbags out and prevented a little more of the damage.
"I had a text message, an email and a phone call from the Environment Agency so I put everything up high last night.
"The water's above skirting boards but below the sockets in my house it's everywhere, in every room, every room's covered.
"We're getting people in boats, in baths, in boxes, anything you can get them in just to wheel them out.
"I had to get my kids and dog out in a boat. Now they're staying with family members and I'm back to help my neighbours."

"There are still some people trying to get out, but there's nothing you're going to do to get off this estate today.
"From the end of my street you can see the newer part of the estate and that's 3ft or 4ft underwater because it's in a dip, then at the other end, the main road's just like a river.
"Our plan's to get everything valuable off the ground and hope we don't lose much."

"The bridges are closed and everyone's just playing the waiting game," she said.
"The council came around and told us to prepare to leave. They said they'd come back and help us to evacuate and give us instructions when and if necessary.
"We've lived here 20 years and have had these situations before, thankfully we've never had to evacuate.
"Our house has never been flooded but we've never had a red evacuation warning before so that's a little bit concerning."
A phone shop employee based at the flood-hit Meadowhall shopping centre has described seeing people wandering around not able to get out and worried children unable to find their parents.
About 30 people were forced to spend the night at the shopping centre after flooding caused chaos on the roads around the area.
Martin Sapcote, who works at Carphone Warehouse, said he was there late into the night.
"We had lots of children running through Meadowhall panicking because they couldn't get in touch with their families and didn't know how to get home," he explained.
"We ended up with a shop full of customers who were all charging up their phones to get in touch with loved ones.
"It was just confusion at some points because people were walking around not being able to get out, not being able to get in touch with people and not knowing what to do."

More than 100 people were rescued from the Parkgate shopping centre by South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue, with one of those having to hitch a ride on boat to return their briefly this morning.
Emma Cookson works at Pets At Home and needed to check on the safety of the animals in the store.
"There's damage to the shop as the water's inside but it's just paddling really so the animals are perfectly fine," she explained.
"One side of Parkgate, the side with Morrisons on, that looks OK but the side we're on with Wilkos that's under water.
"Last night we had to rescue my parents' caravan that was flooded in Mexborough so yeah it's been quite an upset really.
"In 2007 I wasn't here [for the flooding] because I was on holiday so it's quite an eye-opener to be here this time and see the destruction that it's actually caused."
About 100 people stayed at Rotherham town hall overnight, the council has said.
It's after severe weather led to flooding, displacing some people in the area.
Among those forced to spend the night were a number of members of staff from the nearby Parkgate shopping centre.
