Flood Equipment Buying Guide


In bad weather conditions, having the right equipment and supplies on-hand can make a world of difference. Although these scenarios may sometimes be unavoidable and completely unpredictable, there are ways of containing inundation and minimising damage to your premises by using the right equipment.

Choosing Flood Control Supplies

Being prepared for unexpected circumstances such as floods is vital, as they can cause disruption and serious damage to your premises rapidly. We have a vast amount of flood control products that minimise the risk of destruction during heavy downpours.

To help minimise the effects of flooding you can use our range of flood prevention items. An investment in our flood barriers will allow you to take back control. They can also be stacked or folded to increase height and provide extra protection.

There are many other flood control products that you should consider such as:

Water Pumps: If flood water does enter your premises, a pump will clear up the water with ease. We stock pumps that can be used to clean sewage, mud and viscous liquids. They are also versatile as you can use them to drain pond water, pump water from a well or into a reservoir.

Sandbags: Using a traditional method such as sandbags prevents water from entering your building. They are also effective and affordable. Seton is committed to giving you the very best in up to date equipment for health and safety, because of this, we now supply many alternatives to traditional sandbags. These offer all of the benefits of sandbags but are made of modern materials that are lightweight and easier to store.

Hazard signs: Raise the awareness of potential dangerous situations.

Flood Preparation

Where possible, prevention is more effective than reaction. Monitor weather forecasts, be aware of potential flood risks and conduct regular checks of your premises during extremes of weather. If flood warnings are issued in your area, assembling flood prevention barriers and placing sandbags around the entrance to your premises before bad weather arrives will help lessen the effects of flooding.

What Flood Control Products Should I Consider?


  • Flood prevention barriers, when placed by the entrance(s) to your property can block water from entering the premises.

  • Sandbags are a cheap, affordable and effective method of preventing flood water entering a building or other areas.

  • Barrier warning tapes safeguard the safety of those on-site by barricading off particularly hazardous areas to protect employees and members of the public. Safety barriers are another effective safety precaution.

  • Protective clothing, such as deep water gloves, helps protect those dealing with the emergency from hazardous substances. This reduces their chances of becoming ill or picking up infection, after exposure to bacteria in flood waters.

  • Caution signs raise awareness of hazards to those accessing the premises, helping to keep them safe and healthy.

  • Industrial cleaning products should be kept on-site, to cleanse and disinfect areas of water damage. Restoring hygiene and cleanliness is key to keeping the people around you safe.

  • Where flooding may have been caused by internal factors, rather than environmental (such as clogged or burst pipes) drain un-blockers can prove extremely useful. Should water make its way onto your premises, a pump will make clean up much quicker and easier. With a variety of options suitable for clean water, sewage and viscous liquids they can even be used to drain pools or fill reservoirs.


What Do I Need to Protect My Home From Flood Damage?

Flooding can cause extensive damage to domestic and commercial properties. This damage is not only costly to repair, but it also makes a building unusable for long periods.

Flood damage to a home leaves you without a place of residence. Studies indicate that it can take up to nine months to repair flood damage. Flood defence for homes is therefore crucial and cannot be neglected.

Seton helps you to prepare for the worst and safeguards your home against debilitating damage. Any of our mentioned solutions will help to protect your home against flood damage. Identify the water entry points in your home. These can be doors, patios, gaps in floors, and things such as air bricks in walls. Drains and pipes can cause water to enter through your toilets and sinks as water pressure builds.

Always be prepared for a flood. In addition to the correct flood products, ensure that you have:

An evacuation plan and that the inhabitants of your home know about the plan and where to go in case of a flood.
An emergency kit that at the very least contains a handheld radio, flashlight, and emergency food and water supplies. This will provide you with a means to communicate with help and sustain yourself while waiting for help to arrive.

Which Flood Products Do I need?

Your choice of flood products depends on where your home or business premises is situated. Seton stocks a selection of diverse flood products suitable for different locations and situations.

Our freestanding boxwall flood barrier closes off your property from flooding and can be placed anywhere on a flat surface. These flood defence barriers are lightweight, which makes them fast and easy to deploy when sudden floods threaten the integrity of your property.

Seton’s ceiling leak diverter collects water leaking through your roof and diverts it away from your valuables such as electrical equipment in office buildings. It also prevents water from puddling on floors and causing trips hazards that hamper evacuations.

How Do I Protect My Business From Flooding?

You have to evaluate your business premises and identify the possible entry points for flood water. Raise your electrical components to higher levels where water will not reach them. Acquire the necessary flood protection solutions.

Osmo flood barriers are highly effective against flood water. Seton’s flood barriers for doors and flood barriers for garage doors are also essentials. Use the flood avert diverter tubes to redirect water flow away from your doors.

Dealing With Unexpected Flooding

Flash floods and finding the right products to deal with them can be difficult, but it pays to have the correct supplies held on-site in case of emergency. If the worst was to happen and your premises aren’t prepared, you may suffer serious consequences – both financially and concerning health & safety. It simply isn’t worth leaving things to chance. Drain un-blockers, flood barriers, safety signs, drain rod sets and wet pump vacuums may seem unnecessary right now, but you’ll be thankful you made the investment should a sudden emergency arise.
