FloodSax® sandless sandbags save a fortune tackling water leaks inside the home


Managing director Richard Bailey, who invented them, said: “The beauty about the product is that they are so easy to store, lift and handle and so are ideal for anyone – especially people who are disabled, frail or elderly. They come vacuum-packed and so can be popped under the bed or in a cupboard or garage until needed.


Although originally invented to stop serious floods and have been used in action worldwide, the product has now evolved to show it is highly effective at preventing floods inside the home too.


It means they can quickly soak up leaking water from a range of domestic appliances and broken pipes – often in places where it is impossible to put a jug or a bucket – and this can save a fortune in water damage.


FloodSax® are patented and manufactured by Yorkshire-based Environmental Defence Systems Ltd.


He added: “We find that more and more people are now buying them so they are fully prepared for floods both inside and outside the home. We have also discovered they are ideal for popping under dripping pipes or leaking domestic machines such as dishwashers or washing machines where they simply soak up the water, often in places where you just can’t put a bucket or jug.’


“They are sandless sandbags but give so much more flexibility than those filled with sand and far more effective inside the home.’’


FloodSax® have already been endorsed by the National Disabled Fire Association.


The organisation’s mission statement is to ‘champion the social model of disability through an informed, supportive, consistent and defensible approach to disability in the UK


fire and rescue service and the communities they serve.’


Chairman Duncan White said: "Having seen the FloodSax® flood defence system in operation and witnessed the versatility and simplicity of their operation I was able to fully support the feelings of the NDFA in endorsing FloodSax® as a product designed with disabled people and the elderly very much in mind.


"This lightweight and compact system will ensure that the most vulnerable members of our communities will be better prepared in the event of a threat from flooding.''
