Rancho Santa Margarita, Ca – FloodSax® USA, the #1 Selling Sandbag Alternative, offered the perfect solution when it came to the flooding emergency at Oroville Dam this February. With record rainfall from storms hitting most parts of California, especially in Northern regions, Oroville Dam reached maximum capacity. Catastrophe hit, when the Oroville Dam spillway began to crumble, forcing them to use an emergency reservoir that has never been used before. In caution, officials evacuated over 188,000 homes. Throughout the storm and in preparation, the state Department of Water Resources have setup use of traditional sandbags, large rock filled bags, but with too little resources on sandbagging and setup, they decided to turn to FloodSax® Sandless Sandbags.
While the state Department of Water Resources have put many sandbags and large rockbags in use, the flooding emergency required more sandbags… and immediate deployment. With an serious situation at hand and already limited manpower, the state Department of Water Resources decided to work with a trusted flood barrier solution; FloodSax®.

FloodSax’s innovative Sandless Sandbags are changing the way homeowners and businesses deal with flooding and indoor water damage prevention and response. Each year thousands of homeowners face the money, time, and health damages that come along with water damage catastrophes. FloodSax has created a sandbag alternative that effectively absorbs water, stopping it in its tracks. Indoor water damage has become more and more of a problem and unfortunately most homeowners insurance does not cover water damage from indoor appliances or flooding. Homeowner, Amanda Pathania, from Orange, California, is a great example of the damages that can occur when steps are not taken for water damage prevention.
Orange, Ca Homeowner Faces Water Damage from Washing Machine
This past April 2016, Amanda Pathania faced a major indoor water damage issue when her washer malfunctioned. Mid cycle, washer’s leaked approximately 30 gallons of water poured out of the machine. Making its way from the laundry room, downstairs to the basement, water spilled down, creating major damage everywhere it passed. Hardwood floors, carpeting, and drywall were among the damages affecting all three floors of her home. Repairs were estimated to cost about $24,000. Unfortunately, even though Amanda called in an washer tech who subsequently fixed the machine, the same disaster happened again, with the washer leaking for the second time.
FloodSax Sandless Sandbags can come to the Rescue
An estimated 93% of all water damage catastrophes can be prevented! Amanda Pathania’s home could have been protected by taking precautionary steps. Utilizing FloodSax Sandless Sandbags could have served as a self-absorbing sandbag, preventing the water from making it downstairs the first time. Alternatively, if Amanda had purchased the Sandless Sandbag after the first water leak, she could have been prepared for the second one. FloodSax Sandless Sandbags work as indoor water damage prevention measures by acting as an effective barrier. As opposed to other sandbag alternatives on the market, FloodSax products are actually lightweight, but immediately expand from 1 pound to 50 lbs when in contact with water, quickly absorbing up to 5.8 gallons. Homeowners such as Amanda could also prepare for indoor water damage prevention by being placed under washing machines for example, or being stacked to create a barrier that guides spilling water. With 40% more water absorption in comparison to traditional sandbags, FloodSax Sandless Sandbags help you get ready and prevent thousands to millions of dollars in damage.
Homeowners such as Amanda can face such indoor water damage and walk away with a mess-free, hassle-free outcome. Indoor spills such as washing machine leaks can never be predicted, therefore it is important to always be prepared. FloodSax’s absorbent pads are a great tool for indoor water damage prevention.

"We have only used one of these bags outside of our goat barn, which tends to flood every spring and summer, no matter what we do. We put one of the bags at the side where we knew the water seeped through. It absorbed all of the water that had emerged from out recent melted snowstorm. The barn has stayed dry. We will be buying more of these because of their multi-use possibilities."
Pros: Easy to Use, Easy to Work With, Economical, Good Size & Weight, High Quality, Performs Well, ReliableWolfBane - FloodSax Testimonial left on www.HomeDepot.com

Shoveling heavy, dirty sand into bags and laying them out in front of property is not only time consuming, but ideal for strong people. FloodSax instant sandbags offers a safe, easy and convenient way to quickly protect from flooding disasters.
]]>One of the world’s number one sources of water protection, FloodSax® Sandless Sandbags, are revolutionizing the way people prevent water damage. Water damage can occur at any time or place, forming quickly, but leaving long-term damage in its tracks. People have searched for the answer, but traditional sandbags are heavy and are too time consuming to build, messy to deal with and take a lot of resources to clean up after. FloodSax’s Sandless Sandbags are the perfect solution for people of all ages including the elderly and disabled. Whether you live in a flood-prone area or are simply guarding against internal leaks in your home or business, the Floodsax offer versatility as an instant sandbag and as a super liquid absorbent pad.
Recently on March 12, 2016, a church known as the Church on Florida was one of the many places to benefit from these #1 Selling sandless sandbags. FloodSax® products were utilized in the church after a devastating flood hit the 100 year old church’s incredible wood flooring. Worshippers attending the church were concerned that they’d lose the 100 year old flooring. The church feared the possibility of dealing with expensive construction; ripping up floor boards and replacing them with brand new flooring, which would unfortunately cost the church a fortune.
After turning to the Environmental Defence Systems Ltd, the church learned of FloodSax’s Sandless Sandbags and their ability to absorb water effectively. EDS managing director Richard Bailey said: “I advised them to lay FloodSax across the flood as they would soak all the water up into them … and it worked. It meant the floor was saved. FloodSax won’t drip or leak when being carried from a building.” As recommended, the church laid the sandbag alternatives/ absorbent pads across the floor and watched as the water was soaked up and the floor was saved. Sandless sandbags were incorporated to save the church from thousands of dollars in damage as well as future water problems! The church’s incredible story is one of many which demonstrate the benefits of using the sandbag alternatives as a tool against water damage.
Composed of super absorbent polymers, FloodSax® Sandless Sandbags serve as absorbent pads, quickly soaking up water and other liquids. To use as an instant sandless sandbag, simply activate FloodSax with fresh water. Their light and easy to carry dry weight is transformed as water comes into contact with the sandbag alternative.

Among the thousands of customers and companies worldwide to utilize FloodSax® Sandless Sandbags is Ikea , the largest furniture retailer in the world. Earlier this February 2016, problems arose at an Ikea store location when the car park faced a leaking problem. The company, which sells and creates ready-to-assemble furniture, is one of many strong retailers and distributors worldwide using the sandbag alternative, growing FloodSax’s impressive customer base.

Keeping a box of FloodSax® Sandless Sandbags in your home or business has proved to be an effective way to control water damage and to save a fortune.
Earlier in February, Ikea faced a major retail nightmare. With leaks occurring in the car park, the risk of damaging cars, not to mention the greater danger of hurting unsuspecting customers or even damaging the actual store itself was imminent. The two level car park had water travelling from the upper level into the lower level. In order to prevent the water from continuing to pour down, Ikea responded quickly and used FloodSax® Sandless Sandbags to surround the leak and keep it dry. While they stopped the water, the store was able to repair the car park.
When it comes to owning a home or a business, there are so many questions one has to ask. For example, in retail stores, the owners must consider how they can mitigate water damage in a clean and fast way. Important centers such as hospitals must make the same decision, especially since disruptions to work can lead to significant harm for patients. Government agencies also need to manage water damage for their buildings or public properties. Even in your home, a simple toilet leak can lead to major, expensive damage. These are all situations people need to plan ahead for. Minimizing exposure and providing instant containment for water should not be left for the last minute. Ikea’s experience demonstrates FloodSax® Sandless Sandbags can serve as the answer to so many water-related emergencies. Every person or business, even a major retail furniture store such as Ikea is potentially at risk from water damage.

]]>We just received the testimonial/ review below on our FloodSax Sandless Sandbags on Home Depot .com and thought that many should see and understand the multipurpose capabilities of these flood sacks/ flood bags:
"I got a small pack of five because we sometimes experience a minor leakage from one basement wall when it rains heavily. My intention was to wait until spring when rains come and see how these work. Lucky thing I got them when I did, since rising temperatures brought rain in JANUARY!
As usual, we heard the sump pump working overtime from the kitchen, and went down to investigate. Sure enough, that small crack was seeping water. Although this is not a catastrophic leak, it is a nuisance. So, in a matter of seconds, I cut the package open with scissors and took out four floodsax--- enough to corral the mini flood along the path of the water's flow.
They start off being about one-half inch thick. Within minutes these thin floodsax starting bulging and expanding from absorbing ALL that water! Just like in the videos on YouTube and the FloodSax website, these really DO work! This is one of those preparedness products that you want BEFORE something happens. My wife was so delighted with the performance, she bought some for her friend who has a much worse problem in her basement. They worked well for her too.
I recall one year in my youth when our city experience a MAJOR devastating flood and I volunteered for several days packing real old-fashioned sandbags against that torrent. It was grueling heavy wet dirty work. I can easily see how these could save a person thousands in damage around a home, or save a municipality MILLIONS in damages and deployment costs. These are so lightweight and small, one truckload floodsax could easily replace ten or more truckloads of conventional sandbags. They are MUCH MUCH easier to move and place.
As they absorb water, they conform to the space where they are packed so they leak less. The weight of the water itself is what holds them in place.
Here's the kicker! They are reusable! Not only can you dry these out simply by laying them flat in the hot sun, they have antimicrobial properties which the manufacturer says last even after first use. So far, that appears to be true since our basement has zero mold growing on those bags even now, several weeks after I put them in place.
If you have leaks or live in a potential flood zone, you really should check these out by visiting the FloodSax website. They have impressive videos demonstrating how they work and how easy they are to use."

Last year, traditional sandbags couldn’t prevent flood water getting into the site, and Dare lost four grinding machines, months of production time, and the time needed to file insurance claims when floodwater entered the CoGri production facilities, destroying four laser-powered concrete grinders. That’s when Dare knew she needed to find a better solution.
“FloodSax are absolutely brilliant. There was a raging torrent coming down the hill but three layers of 10 sacks held it back from our door. Last year we were flooded very badly and put in a $550,000 insurance claim as a result, but this time we’ve been able to function as normal.”

The last thing you want is to have sandbags that don't protect when disaster strikes.
First, If you are looking for cheap sandbags for flooding, and have plenty of time and resources to dig, fill and bag traditional sandbags, then FloodSax are not for you. The pros of cheap and dirty traditional sandbags are that they are just that. With low grade Polypropylene sandbags, its tarp-like material degrades over time, making planning ahead for flooding events difficult. After just a few weeks of leaving filled Polypropylene sandbags in the sun, it the bag rots, making all of the work of digging, sandbagging and tying up sandbags a waste of time. Flood sacks instant sandless sandbags are different. They are compact, lightweight and easy to deploy.
If you are looking for a convenient, clean and easy way to deploy sandbags in the case of a flash flood, FloodSax is the answer. It is great to see great community efforts where hundreds of volunteers standng on mounds of sand doing their share to build sandbags. However, if you don't have the time and resources to dig sand, fill dirty sandbags and carry and transport the 50 lbs bags from one place to another? FloodSax instant sandless sandbags offers the best sandbags for flooding. When kept in its vacuum sealed bag, FloodSax sandbag alternatives store for up to 10 years. In just 5 minutes, FloodSax inflate from 1 lb. to 50 lbs., ready to fight flood waters to protect your property. When you need sandbags, FloodSax are ready to be deployed in an instant. Here you can see FloodSax keeping waters at bay.
FloodSax are so compact and lightweight it can be deployed by anyone; including the disabled and elderly. There is nothing as lightweight, yet as strong and durable that can build high flood barrier walls. While similar products are lightweight, they do nothing in comparison, as they are filled with less expanding polymers filled in a single case sack... making it an unstable sandbag that is difficult to build water barrier walls.
FloodSax start at 1 lb., when dry, once water is added, the flood bag expands to 50 lbs.
The image below illustrates how high Flood sacks can be stacked vs. competing products that just simply don't offer the size, volume and structure to stack high flood barrier walls.

FloodSax Americas, LLC today announced that the FloodSax sandless sandbag has been awarded the 2014 IHA Innovation Award in the cleaning category. Floodsax® is a self-activating sandless sandbag flood defense system for homeowners, business owners and governmental agencies in the United States. Floodsax uses a proprietary biodegradable polymer that absorbs water to form a sandless sandbag. The award is a recognition that FloodSax is more than just a sandless sandbag for flood protection, but a key part of every homeowner’s cleaning supplies. Used to absorb water and other liquids, FloodSax can protect valuable property and allow cleanup in ways that were never before possible or practical. Delivered as a flat one-pound sack, they absorb up to 45 pounds of fresh water in five minutes, forming a dense gel that blocks and redirects water, while forming to each other or adjacent structures for a tighter fit than traditional sandbags. Because they are stored dry, they are cleaner, lighter, more effective and easier to use in the places and times when sandbags are most needed.

So they turned to Jonathan Cochran who owns Cochran and Son plumbing and construction company in New Castle for help.
He helped eight worried homeowners by building walls of FloodSax® sandless sandbags to keep the water out … and it worked for every resident with no water getting into their basements from the flood surge itself.
Jonathan said the highest wall constructed from around 80 FloodSax® was just over 4ft high and 9ft wide and this picture dramatically shows the water level and the amount of debris the wall kept at bay.
“If the water had got into the basement at these homes the damage caused in each one would have been in the region of $3,000 or $4,000,’’ he said. “These homes had suffered from flooding before and there was no way the people living there wanted to go through that again.
“One man did have regular sandbags in his garage but he didn’t want to go through all the hassle of moving them outside again. He was very satisfied with how the FloodSax® worked.’’
Jonathan said one resident used FloodSax® alternative sandbags to stop the water from reaching his home and they worked fine. But he lives in a terraced house and his next door neighbour didn’t have FloodSax® and his basement was so badly flooded the water seeped through to his neighbour’s basement.
Jonathan added: “The man who used the FloodSax® said that if his neighbour didn’t deploy FloodSax® the next time there was a flood risk, he’d buy them for him!’’
Working in the construction industry means Jonathan has discovered other uses for FloodSax®. If it is raining heavily he uses them as a barrier to stop filthy water from the construction site running off into other properties.
“The neighbours next to construction sites would get real mad if we let muddy water get on to their properties,’’ he said. “They make a highly effective diversionary barrier.’’

WHEN Superstorm Sandy hit the US last year, dozens of people relied on sandless sandbags from Yorkshire to protect their homes from flooding.
The self-inflating FloodSax® are set to secure more orders in the US after impressing two US Olympic sailors who have a flair for business.
The FloodSax® were created by Huddersfield-based entrepreneur Richard Bailey, the managing director of Environmental Defence Systems, who believes the product has the potential to secure large sales in the US.
In October, a wall of FloodSax® saved properties from flooding when the Delaware River rose as Hurricane Sandy struck the New York area.
Residents feared the water would flood basements in their homes that are only around 100ft from the river in the Old New Castle area, close to the New Jersey border in Delaware.
So they turned to Jonathan Cochran who owns Cochran and Son plumbing and construction company for help. He saved eight homes by building walls of FloodSax® to keep the water out.
FloodSax® look like large pillowcases and weigh just seven ounces until they are activated by soaking them in water.
The gelling polymer inside them absorbs the water. In around three minutes they become even more effective than traditional sandbags.
The Florida-based brother and sister team of Paige and Zach Railey – who are both world-class sailors – have set up a company called High Water Flood Group in their home state to sell Floodsax®.
Mr Bailey said yesterday: “It’s amazing how the FloodSax® have now gone global.”

]]>July 18, 2011 – Watertown, SD – In an all-out effort to keep the last viable New Effington, South Dakota, traffic route open and protect the town’s only elementary school, town officials deployed a new tool in their battle with the flood waters – biodegradable sandless sandbags.
]]>July 18, 2011 – Watertown, SD – In an all-out effort to keep the last viable New Effington, South Dakota, traffic route open and protect the town’s only elementary school, town officials deployed a new tool in their battle with the flood waters – biodegradable sandless sandbags.
City officials of New Effington including Mayor Darlene Miller, City Council Member Scott Bostrom, and New Effington Fire Chief Doug Gutzmer were on hand to receive a new kind of alternative sandbag: self-activating sandless sandbag flood defense system. Representatives of FloodSax® delivered 280 sandless sandbags in 14 cases and worked with residents of New Effington to properly deploy the dry sandbags along County Road 8 to absorb and block the waters from the Red River watershed from washing out the roadway.
“We’ve got lots of water, and there’s no where for it to go.” said Mayor Miller, “We’ve got all this rain, and when it broke open, it broke open.”
FloodSax® uses a proprietary biodegradable polymer that absorbs water to form a sandless sandbag. Delivered as a flat one-pound sack, they absorb up to 45 pounds of fresh water in five minutes, forming a dense gel that blocks and redirects water, while forming to each other or adjacent structures for a tighter fit than traditional sandbags. Because they are stored dry, they are cleaner, lighter, more effective and easier to use in the places and times when sandbags are most needed.
The situation in New Effington has been changing fast, with more rain expected over the next several days. Unlike traditional sandbags, 280 of the FloodSax® alternative sandbags were able to be deployed to New Effington in a standard sedan, making protection against rising floodwaters faster and easier than traditional burlap or polypropylene bags.
“The situation in New Effington really highlights the advantages of FloodSax® as a sandbag alternative,” said Rod Redline, of FloodSax® Americas. “The 1 pound dry weight and flat size of FloodSax®, meant New Effington emergency responders were able to get the protection in place to redirect rising water faster and more easily than would have been possible with traditional sandbags.”
