The flooding season is now well and truly upon us after two named storms in just a couple of days.

Make sure you’re prepared for flooding with the unique FloodSax alternative sandbags which work both indoors in their dry state to catch internal leaks, floods and escapes of water and outside as instant sandless sandbags to prevent floodwater getting in.
FloodSax director Jessica Bailey (pictured with a box of 20 FloodSax before they are transformed into instant sandbags) says: “The Met Office weather forecast for the coming weeks is dominated by rain and high winds which will drive that rain into homes and businesses through leaking roofs, windows and gaps under doors and FloodSax are perfect for soaking that up.
“On top of that there is the constant risk of flooding from intense deluges. It’s safe to say the hot, dry summer is fast becoming a distant memory’’

A box of 20 FloodSax alternative sandbags only costs around £140 yet could save you tens of thousands of pounds in needless flood damage.
Summer thunderstorms are now an ever present threat across the UK with the continual risk of flash flooding.
The millions of gallons of water that comes with a heavy summer downfall means the water will hit the ground and then run off it rather than soaking in, putting homes and businesses at serious risk of severe flood damage.
That’s why it’s vital to be always prepared for flash flooding with FloodSax alternative sandbags as they take just minutes to deploy. Local councils have absolutely no responsibility to provide sandbags and, even if they do, are highly unlikely to be able to deploy them in time when a flash flood is imminent.
Don’t leave it to chance and end of up with the terrible expense of severe trauma of being flooded.
