FloodBuddy FAQ
FloodBuddy barriers use water to create a heavy, stable barrier against incoming floodwater. Simply position the barrier where protection is required, connect a standard garden hose and fill it with water.As the barrier fills, its weight and integrated lower chamber help hold it securely in place while creating a flexible barrier that helps redirect and slow the movement of floodwater.Once the flooding has passed, the barriers can be drained, dried and stored ready for future use.
FloodBuddy barriers are suitable for a range of residential and commercial applications and can be placed on surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, gravel and grass.Their flexible construction allows them to conform to minor surface variations, helping create an effective barrier across different areas.
FloodBuddy barriers can be deployed quickly without the need for sand, heavy equipment or extensive preparation.Simply place the barrier in position, connect a garden hose and fill it with water. Once filled, the barrier is ready to provide flood protection.
FloodBuddy barriers are available in a range of sizes to suit different flood protection requirements. The maximum water level they can help manage will depend on the height and configuration of the barrier selected, as well as the site conditions.FloodBuddy barriers are designed for lower-level flooding such as heavy rain, stormwater and minor flooding, rather than extreme or deep flood events.For more severe flooding or higher water levels, additional flood protection measures may be required.
