Why Are Floods the Worst of the Worst?

Here’s why…

  • All 50 states experience flooding and flash floods.
  • Everyone of us lives in a flood zone.
  • Most homeowners insurance does not cover flood damage.
  • If you’re a homeowner in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) or high-risk area and have a Federally backed mortgage, your mortgage lender will require flood insurance.
  • Just one inch of water can cause costly damage to any property.
  • Flash floods can bring devastating walls of water 10 to 20 feet high.
  • Just two feet of floodwater can easily be carried away.
  • Snowmelt, hurricanes, and winter storms and  are common causes of flooding.
  • New land development can increase flood risk, especially if the construction changes natural runoff paths.

The only predictable thing about floods is that they will occur again. When and where is anyone’s guess. Are you prepared? With SandBadger on standby,  your community can be ready to establish a wall of defense, quickly, safely, and at a much lower cost than repairing and rebuilding.

The sandbag is an effective tool for fighting rising waters but it is no longer practical, safe, or cost-effective to use the 1950′s method of filling and stacking sandbags by hand. Find out how SandBadger technologies can protect your home and business.

Nothing Faster or Safer

Filling sandbags takes a lot of coordination and lots of people power. But there is a more efficient way. We certainly respect people putting in the back-breaking hours needed to save their communities. But listen to the math in this video. It takes thousands of volunteers to create thousands of sandbags to hold back rising waters. That’s why we invented the SandBadger. Our technology can fill those sandbags faster, safer, and in a more orderly fashion. This reduces stress and strain on the entire community. The SandBadger is designed to be the world’s fastest sandbag filling machine. It doesn’t replace people it keeps them safe.

Don’t risk people or property when the solution is so simple, so fast, and so near. Find out how the SandBadger can protect your community!

Although we always honor and admire the volunteers who rush to the rescue of those in the path of rising water we want to emphasize that there are many dangers to volunteers filling and throwing sandbags around. If you watch this video you’ll notice a few critical things. First, these people are working hard and their hearts are in the right place. Second, there is a lot of chaos, mishandling of equipment and dangerous posture for those handling heavy weights. We’ve designed the SandBadger to help eliminate many of the following problems. Learn how we help protect property and people.

Raising shovels above the shoulders, squatting down to lift heavy sandbags and people walking randomly through the work area all add up physical dangers including sore muscles, back injuries, eye injuries, and needless exhaustion. Our SandBadger technology reduces physical risks to flood site workers by eliminating need for shovel-filled bags, disorganized transportation of sandbags, and the poor-posture-lifting that goes with scenes like this.

Check out this video during the floods in North Dakota. It’s a reminder of how important being able to sandbag directly at the site can be. When you use the SandBadger, you’ll have plenty of sandbags exactly where you need them very fast.
