Flooding Precautions

Sandbags are one of the most well-known devices for keeping floodwater out of your property. Unfilled sandbags and a supply of sand can be purchased from some DIY stores and Builders Merchants, but remember that if there is a flood in your area demand may exceed supply as people rush to buy them.

If you have not purchased sandbags and sand in advance, you can use alternatives such as pillowcases or refuse sacks and fill them with garden soil. Remember that they can get heavy quickly, so do not overfill, or fill them too far away from where you want to position them.

You can prevent or reduce flooding by taking steps to stop flood water entering your home or workplace. This can be done by blocking doorways and airbricks from the outside with sandbags.
