How do you protect your air bricks from floodwater?

Securing your air bricks against floodwater is essential in maintaining your home’s structural integrity and internal climate, preventing the typical damage floods inflict. Although air bricks are intended for property ventilation, they can inadvertently allow floodwater in if not adequately protected. A key component of a successful air brick flood defence plan is using a suitable air brick flood barrier designed to meet these specific challenges.

Our Floodbrick product excels in providing sturdy and dependable protection for your air bricks from floodwater invasion. This innovative barrier is carefully designed to block air bricks from incoming water, effectively stopping it from penetrating and harming your home. The Floodbrick acts as a watertight barrier around these vital ventilation points, ensuring your property stays dry and secure during a flood.

Alongside installing the Floodbrick, it’s wise for homeowners to regularly check and maintain their air bricks, keeping them free from obstructions and in good working order, thus bolstering your property's flood defence. Combining our Floodbrick’s protection with consistent air brick maintenance offers thorough defence against floodwaters, safeguarding your home’s safety and comfort.

How does the Floodbrick Cover work?

The Floodbrick cover embodies the pinnacle of innovative design, marrying superior protection with a user-friendly approach. Its core purpose is to create a secure, watertight shield around your home's air bricks—vital for ventilation yet potential pathways for floodwater during intense rainfall or floods. This cover effectively blocks these entry points, guaranteeing that water cannot penetrate your defences and infiltrate your property.

What distinguishes the Floodbrick is its straightforward installation process. Crafted for practicality, it allows for quick and easy placement over air bricks, eliminating the need for specialist tools or elaborate set-up. This ease of use empowers homeowners to reinforce their homes promptly upon detecting flood risks, offering reassurance that they are well-prepared ahead of any looming weather challenges.

Additionally, the Floodbrick cover is designed for longevity and repeated use, presenting a sustainable option for flood defence. Once the flood threat subsides, the cover can be effortlessly removed, cleaned, and stored until needed again, ensuring your home is always ready for future flood scenarios. Its simple maintenance and storage significantly augment its appeal as a vital element of your home's flood protection arsenal, rendering the Floodbrick cover an essential partner in safeguarding against floodwater intrusion.

How do you prepare air bricks for a flood?

Preparing your air bricks to withstand a flood requires a few critical preparatory actions:

Routine Checks: Regularly examine your air bricks to make sure they're free from obstruction and working as intended. Conducting these inspections regularly aids in detecting any potential problems that could affect their efficiency in the event of flooding.

Installing Floodbrick Covers: Before the onset of the flood season, it's wise to equip all your home's exposed air bricks with Floodbrick covers. Taking this step in advance can significantly impact whether your home stays dry or suffers considerable water damage.

Evaluating After the Flood: Following a flooding incident and the subsequent removal of the Floodbrick covers, it's essential to reassess your air bricks. Double-check to confirm they're not blocked and are in good working condition, ensuring they're prepared to resume their normal ventilation role.

Safeguarding your air bricks from floodwater plays a pivotal role in a thorough home flood defence strategy. The Floodbrick provides an efficient, easy-to-use method to protect your property and maintain essential ventilation.

Floodshield barrier

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.

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 tried it and fixed it ready for the next flood

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.

It works!

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an airbrick cover, and why is it necessary?

An airbrick cover is a device designed to temporarily seal off airbricks in your home to prevent floodwaters from entering through these ventilation points. Airbricks are necessary for proper ventilation under floors and within cavities to prevent damp; however, during a flood, they can allow water to enter. Airbrick covers are necessary to mitigate this risk, providing an effective barrier against floodwater while maintaining the integrity of your home's ventilation in non-flood conditions.

How easy is it to install an air brick cover?

Airbrick covers are designed for easy and quick installation, requiring no specialist tools or permanent modifications to your home. They can typically be fitted by the homeowner in just a few minutes. The design usually allows for a simple, tool-free application, making them an accessible solution for immediate flood protection.

Can airbrick covers be reused after a flood event?

Yes, airbrick covers are designed for durability and reusability. After a flood event, they can be removed, cleaned, and stored for future use. This makes them a cost-effective and sustainable option for ongoing flood risk management.

Are there different sizes or types of airbrick covers to fit various homes?

Airbrick covers come in a range of sizes and designs to fit the standard airbrick sizes and types found in most homes. It's important to measure your airbricks before purchasing covers to ensure a proper fit, thereby maximising the effectiveness of the flood protection they offer.

How effective are airbrick covers in preventing flood damage?

Airbrick covers are highly effective in preventing water from entering your home through airbricks, a common entry point for floodwater. When properly installed, they create a watertight seal that can significantly reduce the risk of flood damage to your home's interior and structure. However, it's important to combine them with other flood protection measures for comprehensive coverage, as floods can infiltrate through multiple points.
