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

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.

Absorbs and expands exactly as described, turns into a sausage. won't keep absorbing forever but great at stopping small amounts of water ingress spreading.

sadly i wouldn't buy again used as advertised but didnt make a difference when raining 😣

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

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.

Premier gros orage Il a été utile devant la porte du garage Je recommande pour entrée d'eau modérée..

Le produit est bien que pour 1 seule utilisation je l est fait sécher et voulez le réutiliser j ai n est jamais pu le remplir , le boudin est tous visqueux, je ne vous le recommande pas
