Flood Defence
Urban flooding over the past decade has caused millions of pounds of damage and insurmountable heartache to homeowners across the UK.
Local councils occasionally hand out sandbags during severe flood warnings; these however are in very small numbers and are never enough to fully protect a house.
Airbricks are one of the first entry points for flood water, and with most houses having between six and eight airbricks at ground level there is potential for a large amount of water to penetrate. This could be as much as several thousand litres per hour through one airbrick alone.
Manthorpe flood protection equipment can help to stop flood water entering a property, at the very least significantly delaying its ingress, providing valuable time to safeguard items within the home such as furniture and electrical goods.
Airbrick covers are quicker, easier to install and more effective than piling up sandbags, and also allow any sandbags you have to be utilised elsewhere around the property.
