– Flood Sock 1.5m Barrier

Flood barrier worked well diverted heavy rains from flooding my basement left in place for 3 months before disposal. I bought a replacement for any future emergencies.

These flood socks contain water absorbing pellets which swell up to about three and a half inches high. This can take about 30 minutes or more. The swollen pellets sometimes have to be redistributed (with your foot) along the length to make a barrier to flowing water and it obviously can’t cope with a depth of much more than a couple of inches. It can be quite useful for diverting a moderate flow away from vulnerable areas. When fully wet they are heavy to move ( the 10 foot one especially).

I bought this product to help with our driveway that floods when the rain is very heavy. I bought originally 2 x 10’ pieces.. with all the extreme weather we’ve been having our driveway severely floods now and sits in about 4 inches of water. Sometimes I use these flood barriers you can put them down dry into the water and they inflate really quickly with the water very similar to the absorbency of a nappy really I expect they use the same material . These don’t deflate once used, but rather than throw them away, I’ve put them in a bucket and I just keep them in our driveway and every time it rains I reuse them.. I expect they won’t be reusable forever as the material will tear in the end but for now I have used them four times as you can see from the photographs they inflate to about 80% which is excellent highly recommended.

Stops flooding water

Without these, I definitely would have flooded out this last weekend. They are flat when laid out but rapidly inflate by absorbing water - mine were pretty turgid within 10-15 minutes. Having a bag of sand to hand to prevent any water from working its way underneath them would also be recommended but overall I would say they did a great job and I have just bought some more. I’m anticipating they should deflate gradually as they dry but that remains to be seen.

I had to go to the manufacturer's website and read the small print to learn that these are not suitable for sea water flooding.

Designed to expand when soaked, this ‘snake’ had a good bite!

Good flood barrier. Perfect for diverting water away from house. Repeat purchase. Thankfully I don’t need any more as the issue is rectified.

Lo tenía guardado en su envoltorio desde que vino hace 2 años y cuando voy a probarlo por lluvia, vierte agua como si llevara gelatina por ambos lados y se queda pegajoso por lo que no sirve.
