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
from 225 reviewsFlood gate received and very easy to fit, had to order longer screws, but they arrived quickly and so easy to fit. I hope i never have to use it!!
The shield fits well, have not had to use it since last getting flooded. A great product. Delivery was promised , but kept getting delayed. Glad to see your website now states the correct time of 3 weeks.
Floodshield is an excellent product however my order was damaged I ordered 2 floodshield barriers . 1 barrier was perfect the other badly scratched. I arranged for it to be returned however it was not picked up when promised then was told that the new one would be delivered that same week which it wasn't. When contacting floodshield I was told it would be delivered to me Monday 28/10/24 however it was not so once again I contacted floodshield left a message has no one was available and now if is 30/10/24 and I have still not received my replacement floodshield barrier!
I am sad to say that the customer service that floodshield supplies is extremely poor but the floodshield barrier itself is excellent.
The customer service was very good I hope I never have to use the floodgate but it is peace of mind to know it is ready to use
Haven’t actually used it yet, but the quality looks and feels good.
Hope to solve a basement toilet backflow problem, will let you know after the next big rain event.
We have just moved to this area and with the unpresented amount of rain in 1 day our garage flooded. I looked up items that would help keep the water out in future and bought a Osmo flood barrier. It has worked wonderfully and I wish I had known about the company before. So easy to use and have ordered a couple more just in case we need them in the future.
We have fitted this ready for the floods so if we are expecting to flood it can be installed easy. It is better than the other because we could only use it once, this we can fill then empty and refill again.
I live in an area where we are only 65 - 85ft above sea level. Every winter season we are all waterlogged. Occasionally, we have problems with backflow, but not now I have a Toilet Stopper! What a simple, but great idea! I can’t recommend them enough. I’m buying another one for a friend of mine. Thank you to whoever thought of this.
Haven’t had to put this to the test yet, but previous one worked brilliantly at keeping the torrential rain out of the garage all year
FloodSax (pack of 5 or box of 20)
Great Product. I live in Florida and go north for the summer, so I need piece of mind during hurricane season. Used sandbags for last hurricane two years ago and they failed to stop all the water intrusion 100% and you cannot depend on anyone to watch over your property as it's everyman for themselves as a hurricane approaches. I ordered two for my two doors and am totally pleased with the seal and ease of attachment. My many neighbors are also looking to purchase as well. Very satisfied with the product and the customer service.
