Flood Barriers are self-activating, water-activated barriers designed to absorb, contain, and divert floodwater, protecting homes and properties with fast, autonomous deployment. A vailable in 5 ft, 10 ft, and 17 ft lengths to fit a variety of entryways, doorways, and property layouts. Self-activating, water-activated: activates on contact with water—no pumps, electricity, or manual filling required. Length options: available in 5 ft, 10 ft, and 17 ft lengths to cover different perimeter needs and door configurations. Absorption capacity: absorbs approximately 4, 8, or 13.5 gallons of water depending on the chosen length. Rapid swelling: swells to a full height of 3.5 inches within about 10 minutes to form a solid barrier. Material and safety: contains a super absorbent powder that gels water; safe, non-hazardous, and non-toxic; environmentally friendly and designed to decompose over time. Wedge design: built-in wedge helps prevent the barrier from rolling, improving stability as water levels rise. Stacking versatility: can be stacked in pyramid formations to increase wall height for higher flood levels. Ease of use and storage: compact and lightweight for easy storage; no sand or labor needed to deploy; convenient Grab & Go Buckets available for quick access. Proven protection approach: leave in place for ongoing protection and use across multiple flood events without reconfiguration. Not for salt water: not suitable for saltwater environments; exposure to saline water can cause deflation due to a chemical reaction. Compliance and protection: protected by patents, including US Patent No. 9,297,134 B1, reflecting its engineered design for flood defense. These Flood Barriers are well-suited for homeowners, property managers, and small commercial spaces seeking rapid, user-friendly flood protection. They’re effective for sealing doorways, garages, basements, and entry points where water ingress is a concern, providing a reliable line of defense when flood conditions are forecast. Use them as a flexible, modular solution: position barriers along vulnerable edges, build higher walls by stacking, and leave them in place for ongoing protection across multiple events without the mess or heavy lifting of traditional methods.
