How do you divert water away from your garage?

Flood protection starts with prevention—and one of the smartest ways to reduce the risk to your garage is by managing how water moves around your property.

Start with smart drainage and landscaping

To stop water before it reaches your garage door, a few structural adjustments can make a big difference:

  • Install French drains or trench drains near the garage threshold to collect and redirect water away
  • Regrade the surrounding landscape, ensuring the ground slopes gently away from the garage rather than toward it
  • Use permeable paving or gravel around the driveway area to encourage better water absorption and reduce pooling

These passive defences help divert rainwater and surface runoff before it becomes a problem.

Strengthen your defence with fast-acting flood protection products

Structural changes alone may not be enough, especially during flash floods or prolonged rain. That’s where our flood protection products come into play.

  • Flood Cubes can be positioned along garage entrances or boundaries to create an instant, water-diverting barrier
  • Osmo Flood Barriers offer a lightweight, modular solution that’s ideal for wider openings; easy to deploy, stack, and reposition as needed

These products help guide floodwater away from your garage and towards safer drainage zones, preventing it from breaching entry points

Combine strategies for a complete defence

Using flood barriers alongside smart drainage and landscaping gives you layered protection, reducing both the likelihood and severity of flooding.

This combined approach doesn’t just protect your garage, it helps manage water across your entire property. By diverting water effectively, reinforcing key entry points, and creating buffer zones, you’ll dramatically lower the risk of flood-related damage to your home, vehicles, and stored belongings.

Tips for Using Sandbag Alternatives

Sandbag alternatives like Floodsax offer several advantages, including ease of storage, quick deployment, and reusability. Here are some tips for using these alternatives effectively:

  • Preparation: Keep Floodsax or similar products in an easily accessible location for quick deployment in case of sudden flood warnings.
  • Activation: Follow the product instructions for activation, ensuring they're ready to absorb water and expand to their full size.
  • Placement: Strategically place the barriers at entry points, ensuring there are no gaps for water to seep through. Overlapping and layering can enhance effectiveness.
  • Post-Event: Once the floodwater recedes, dispose of any contaminated products as per the product instructions.

Garages need not be vulnerable to flooding. With the right planning and our tailored Garage Flood Protection products, you can safeguard this essential area from water damage effectively. Explore our solutions today and take a proactive step towards comprehensive flood defence for your home.
