Various flood barriers are available that can be quickly deployed and removed once the threat has gone. Flood defences are suitable for homes and businesses, and some options are shown below.
Flood stop Barrier 0.5 m High
The 0.5 m high Flood stop barrier provides a proven and effective flood prevention method. The barrier can be assembled to any length and be arranged to suit any direction and opening. The system can be rapidly deployed by one person.
How does the flood stop barrier work
When in use, the majority of the modular units actually fill with the rising floodwaters, which combined with the weighted universal keys ensures the assembled flood barrier holds back floodwaters.
All units and keys incorporate hard-wearing gaskets to ensure sealing. For acute cornering or wall connection in a Flood stop assembly, a Multi-hub unit is simply used. The beauty of this patented flood prevention system is that no bolting to the ground is required.
It also means that when the floodwaters recede, the pods empty themselves and become light enough to be carried away.
They are also a much more cost-effective and reliable alternative to flood sandbags. In the above set-up a free board is required.
Flood insurance is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, and most home and business owners are aware that they must take responsibility in protecting their properties from the risk of flooding with flood defence barriers. Benefits of Floodstop include:
- Rapidly deployable flood defence system
- Can be assembled by one person
- Not affected by strong winds when deployed
- Highly flexible system
- More cost-effective and versatile flood protection than sandbags
- Self-balancing with no bolting required
- Multi-hub connection unit allows easy connection to walls and cornering
- Units nest into each other for easy storage
- Recyclable and reusable.
- Can be used as leverage to gain flood insurance.
