How do you divert water away from your driveway?
Flooding often starts at ground level—and driveways are one of the easiest entry points for water. The key to protecting them lies in both smart drainage design and well-placed, rapid-response defences.
Start with smart landscaping and drainage
Good water management begins long before the rain starts. Here are a few structural strategies that make a big difference:
- Install French or trench drains to redirect water away from your home and into safe drainage channels
- Shape your driveway with a gentle gradient, guiding surface water toward the road or dedicated drain points
- Use permeable paving or gravel where possible to reduce pooling and allow water to soak away naturally
These passive drainage improvements lay the foundation for a flood-resilient property.
Add fast-acting flood protection for extra peace of mind
Drainage alone isn’t always enough—especially during heavy storms or flash floods. That’s where our driveway flood products come in.
- Flood Cubes and FloodSax can be stacked or laid along the edge of your drive to form a quick, low-profile barrier
- These products absorb and redirect water away from your property—perfect for driveways, paths, or vulnerable side access
- Osmo Flood Barriers offer flexible, reusable protection you can deploy at a moment’s notice—great for large driveways or shared access routes
Positioned correctly, these barriers help channel water away from garages, front doors, and low-lying areas, reducing the risk of internal flooding.
A complete defence that works together
Combining landscaping, drainage and flood products gives you layered protection, blocking water at multiple points and improving overall flow around your home.
It’s not just about defending the driveway, it’s about safeguarding your entire property from preventable water damage. With the right setup, you can keep your garage dry, protect your foundations, and maintain safe access, whatever the forecast throws your way.
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 232 reviewsThe advertising was persuasive so we ordered it. It came in good order and proved to be the right fit and easy to instal. The proof as to its efficiency now depends on the next flooding event (which we expect but rather fear). If that happens you can expect another review!

After receiving the flood shield and realising we needed the shorter clips, you promptly sent them with no issues.
Today we have swapped the clips and fitted it to the door. It was lightweight, and very easy to install.
Really hoping we won’t need to use it, but it is very reassuring to know that if the worse does happen, my mum is able to install the Floodshield.
Your customer service has been brilliant and your product is giving my mum peace of mind should the worst happen.

Hi I found the barrier easy to fit lightweight bit disappointing the writing upside down on , fortunately I’ve not had to use it yet so still waiting to test it

It arrived today just in time for Christmas!!

Flood 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.

Not used yet hope never have to but it gives me a little peace of mind knowing that it is here

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.

It helped to keep out the river, not flooded this time around

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.
