How do you divert water away from your driveway?
Redirecting water away from your driveway is crucial in reducing the risk of flooding. The adoption of drainage strategies, such as the installation of French or trench drains, can proficiently divert water from your premises. Moreover, judicious landscaping and engineering a slight incline in your driveway to guide water towards street drains can significantly boost your home’s flood defence.
Beyond structural adjustments, the integration of our bespoke flood defence products can further strengthen your driveway’s guard against floods. For example, tactically positioned Flood Cubes or FloodSax along the edges of your driveway can form an effective barrier to redirect approaching water from your property. In the same vein, Osmo Flood Barriers, renowned for their capacity to absorb water, can be arranged to establish a temporary shield against surface runoff, efficiently guiding water to safer egress points.
Merging these advanced solutions with conventional landscaping and drainage methods not only fortifies your driveway against direct floodwater ingress but also helps control the overall water circulation around your property, significantly reducing the likelihood of water damage from all directions. This comprehensive approach to flood defence assures that your garage, driveway, and adjacent areas remain protected, maintaining the integrity and safety of your home amidst potential flooding scenarios.
Tips for Using Sandbag Alternatives
Alternatives to traditional sandbags, such as Floodsax, present multiple benefits, such as convenient storage, rapid deployment, and the ability to be reused. Here are some tips for using these alternatives effectively:
Preparation: Store Floodsax or comparable items in a readily accessible spot to ensure they can be deployed swiftly in response to unexpected flood alerts.
Activation: Adhere to the instructions provided with the product to activate it properly, making sure it's prepared to soak up water and swell to its maximum capacity.
Placement: Position the barriers strategically at entryways to eliminate any spaces that could allow water infiltration. Using an overlapping and layered approach can significantly boost their efficiency.
Post-Event: After the floodwaters have subsided, follow the product guidelines to properly dispose of any items that have become contaminated.
Securing your driveway against flooding is crucial for the overall safety of your property. Our Driveway Flood Protection product line enables you to anticipate and lessen the impact of floodwaters, ensuring your home remains safe and dry. Delve into our offerings today and make a forward-thinking move towards complete flood defence.
Let customers speak for us
I'm unable to review the Flood Cubes yet as the water receded just before we needed to put them to the test. However, Floodshield who supplied them were great. They were out of stock of the item we ordered but immediately contacted us and offered to supply the Flood Cubes instead and hold the price at that of the lower priced item we had ordered. They arrived the next day.
I place the barrier along the Door and it stops water going into the garage and saves a lot of mopping,
A good old fashioned service company with a series of products which provide a solution to a sometimes emergency need.
I recently ordered 2 Floodshield barriers for my UPVC and wood front doors. Anthony at Floodshield was extremely helpful and swift to respond to my various queries. The product is light, quick to deploy and simple to adjust for a perfect fit. It appears to provide a robust, watertight seal when fastened firmly to the doors. I hope I never have to use them!
These are great to have at hand when flooding is an issue. They are light , easy to store and very easy to use. I have flood doors which are getting old and during the recent floods I used them to block any leaks around them. Worked really well.
So I ordered another box to have on standby.
Arrived on time, no issues with the order. Haven’t used yet, just in case needed.
We were caught out by the recent heavy rain causing water to run into our garage. Friends of ours came to our rescue with floodsacs which worked a treat and we have now bought more incase of further problems.
We have occasional problems with drains backing up during heavy rain which can cause water to enter our home. After trying sand bags which don't always work, we purchased a Flooshield. Lightweight, easy to fit and seems to create a good seal. Hopefully our problems will now be resolved.
Haven't had to use them, but it will sadly happen, confident in your product. We compared different types of products, we were confident this product will suit our needs.
Kind regards
Worked perfectly when we had flood, and the peace of mind knowing they were there, ready to be deloyed quickly, was worth there weight in gold
