Water Gate Flood Preparedness

Flood Preparedness Kits

Living near water that floods annually as snow melts, or experiencing burst or backed up pipes in your home or workplace is bad, but it’s a good reason for flood preparedness. Being prepared and ready to act saves hassle as well as damage. Northern Tool offers a great selection of flood preparedness tools to keep you and your property as safe as possible from imminent flooding.

This selection of flood preparedness products includes kits and single- and multi-packs of flood barriers, water plugs, flood bags, buckets, flood gates and stanchions and more. One of the bestsellers of flood preparedness items here is a 12-pack of 10ft. flood barriers. There’s no sand in these lightweight flood barriers. They feature a super-absorbent powder that activates with water, filling up to divert and contain flooding. These barriers are eco-friendly and safe, so you can leave them in place for ongoing protection. What’s more, these flood preparedness helpers can be used throughout the winter for thaw flood protection. Another top seller here is a 25-pack of jumbo flood bags. These bags also contain a water-activated absorbent that turns to gel and grows the bag to full size in just minutes. These flood barriers are also eco-friendly and can be left in place for months of protection.

If you need a single water plug, this mix of flood preparedness items offers an excellent one. It features built-in weights that seal a drain. Ideal for use with a sump pump (not included), this water plug is easy to use and can be set up in minutes. The expandable door barrier here is a versatile piece of flood preparedness equipment. It expands from 30in.–35in. to fit your door, keeping water out until you can divert it away from your home or other building. If you’re looking for a kit full of critical flood preparedness items, there are several here. One includes five flood barriers and 10 flood bags. Both barriers and bags feature lightweight absorbent that’s water activated, so they fill up to stop and divert flood water. If you’re unsure how much flood preparedness you need, this kit is a good place to start. Variations on this kit are also available with more or fewer barriers and bags.
