For those that claim failure of a Floodguard, note the jets of water streaming in from brickwork as the brick and cavity relieve the water inside the Floodguard, the only place it is able to relieve apart from inside the building. Net result a Floodguard full of water - BUT THE FLOODGUARD DID ITS JOB

Rapidam flood barrier being tested at HR Wallingford in Oxfordshire, UK. This was prior to the inception of the BSi Kitemark and to a far more rigorous standard. Note the flood barrier acts as a wave re-curve wall, effectively folding the waves back on themselves.

WATCHOUT though because some products are sold well beyond the param...

sorry Linda. I'll try an edit to keep your attention. Or you can go to the Aquobex channel for more succinct and more visual
Or just just go to flowdefense.com for an automatic no human intervention system needed its all automatic and is always there when you need it plus cleaning is ez pz. ua-cam.com/video/oNfSwHAnJDE/v-deo.html
This is what happens when you live in a place like England where tyranny is okay. In America we love our guns.

I-m not convinced !
Here is some pretty compelling evidence ua-cam.com/video/2aX_K1sTkRk/v-deo.html
I live on a hill :)
Me too. if more people lived on hills, life would be better.
is it quake proof?
" a twenty meter length can be erected in less than 15 minutes ", well, I can't do better
God like.
yes. 2 inches in 2 seconds is better
What's the highest height for this particular flood proofing?
Don't know what history you are reading up on but flooding has been going on for thousands of years as we humans have always built our villages and homes near water. Egyptians use to farm on sediment from the yearly Nile river floods as the sediment was rich in nutrients. The Mississippi and Susquehanna rivers both flood so often [and long before "Global Warming" was even an issue, like perhaps in the 1800's] that government officials commonly build temporary dams and even large 30 foot tall berms to try and control the water. Please, you you want to sell your product, use facts. Don't try to use fear tactics to get a quick sell.
acctualy the mesopotanian people used canals for flash floods
Mike Ayers Perhaps it's talking about Flooding in the UK?
Still not a new thing, not even for the UK. In fact, Some records that I found are about a flood in the 14'th century, known as the Saint Marcellus' flood, that took nearly 25,000 lives. So implying that floods are brand new and never been dealt with before is just false. Note again, I am not talking about their product here. I do not know how well it works, nor have I ever tried the product. But as someone who has been responsible for protecting lives during major storms, for instance, Super-storm Sandy and Hurricane Irene, I would not trust a product from a company who falsifies information to make a sale. To me, this is a sales tactic that tries to capitalize on fear in order to get an impulse buy for a situation that could be managed better with other products.
you're right about the fact that it is a thing existing from before out times. However, the power of a flooding is vastly increased nowadays because more of the soil is "locked" by buildings and streets and so on. warmer temperatures also increase the removal of snow, creating bigger flows in rivers, making stronger floods then were likely to ever happen in the earlier centuries.
Very novel Q. We must get these into stores by Christmas.

Indeed, if I see all those poor flooded people still walking around with sand bags and self help devices I would like to shout out loud: people, do just open your eyes: alternatives do exist, and they DO work. Get out of flood Middle Ages!
