Floodlock® Flood Trap Tape the first step towards keeping flood water and draughts outdoors.

1. Invisibly acts as a draught excluder to help save energy and money
2. Automatically expands when wet reducing the flow of flood water through doors to a trickle 
3. Is probably the quickest, easiest, lowest-cost DIY way to start preparing for floods.

Without Flood Trap Tape 4.4L out of 10L entred through the gap around the door in 15 Seconds. The rest flowed away through gaps in the container around the door as you can see in the video.

4.4L/10Lx100 = 44% of the water got through.

When Flood Trap Tape was used just 0.2L entered = 0.2L/10Lx100 = 2%

So Flood Trap Tape reduced water entry by (1-2%/44%) x 100% = 95.45% on this test.

Imagine how much quicker it would be to mop up or pump out 95% less water should a flash flood strike your property and how much more time you would have to do all the other things needed to protect yourself, your family, friends and valueable.

Other weak points in the building through which water will enter include:

1. The gap between a door frame and whatever it is screwed into up the sides and under and around the threshold. Silicone sealant can help seal the gaps and keep more water out.
    
2. Air bricks. A flood proof air brick cover should reduce the amount of flood water that flows in through an air brick. If you are short on time even a piece of plastic sheet taped over it with strong water proof duct tape will help keep flood water out, better than doing nothing.
    
3. Gaps around pipes ... Use silicone sealant.
