Not all properties will benefit from sandbagging, in fact sometimes it can do more harm than good! Make sure you are aware of the flow of water around your property during high rainfall events before deciding whether sandbags will be useful to you.
Sandbags are only effective when used correctly. They should only ever be filled two-thirds full and be folder over, rather than tied at the top. Lay them like brickwork, staggering the rows so that’s the joins do not line up.
Sandbags will not fully protect your home, but they can help to reduce water infiltration and damage. In the event of disaster and flooding, please only take what you require to ensure there are enough sandbags for those with the greatest need.
