Floodshield Flood Sock 1.5m Barrier

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.

In heavy rain water slowly seeps into a section of our cellar and runs across the floor. I put this down dry on the floor and when it rained it soaked up the water, expanded, and blocked it from flowing away. I don't know how this would deal with a lot of water, but for the slow seep it was great at adsorbing.

Good flood barrier. Perfect for diverting water away from house. Repeat purchase. Thankfully I don’t need any more as the issue is rectified.

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.

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

Great

This product worked initially when I needed it but after only a week the end seam split and the insides kept spilling out. Such a shame because in theory this could be a great product. Tried to contact the company but couldn't find the details so couldn't complain privately or ask for refund/replacement

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).
