Don’t get caught out by the erratic weather – Our polypropylene flood defence sand bags are pre filled with approximately 20kg of sand and can help prevent and minimise flood damage. Call us on 01704 840265 to order yours.
Step 1 – Consider all entry points that flood water could get through – The general recommendation is that you’ll need at least 6 sandbags to keep out 20cm depth of water for a standard door opening.
Step 2 – Clear any debris from the area where the bags are to be place, and if possible use plastic sheeting between the sandbags and the floor/wall of your house, to act as the water proofing membrane.
Step 3 – Lay sandbags like brickwork, ensuring that the top part of the bag with the opening is covered by the next bag. Stagger the rows so that the joins don’t line up.
Step 4 – Stamp bags firmly into place to eliminate gaps and create a tight seal.
