It's National Preparedness Month: Self-Inflating Sandbags Make It Easy to Prepare for a Disaster

September 15, 2014

Flooding is the most common natural disaster in the United States and can happen anywhere. Just a few inches of water can do serious damage to a home or business so it is particularly important to be prepared for flooding, especially if your home or business is situated in a low-lying area or near a body of water.  

Traditionally, sandbags have been the go-to item for effectively preventing water from damaging a structure. But storing bulky, heavy sandbags is not viable option for most homeowners or businesses. That is why self inflating sandbags are a superior alternative to traditional sandbags for protecting against floods and water damage.  

Self-inflating sandbags are light, compact, and easily stored, but quickly absorb water, expanding to full size in 3 to 5 minutes creating an effective water barrier. These bags are eco-friendly and biodegradable making them an excellent solution for flood prevention and water damage.
