Residential Sandbagging Guidelines

Knowing how to properly fill and place sandbags during a flood emergency can mean the difference between saving and losing your home. Sandbagging correctly is an easy way to protect your property from flood and storm damage. Build the sandbag wall. Determine where the flood waters are coming from and where you want them re-routed. Take care to not re-route water flow to someone else’s property and create a flood hazard there. Once you have decided where the wall should be, begin laying the sandbags like bricks.

Row by Row

Lay the bottom row side by side with no spaces between the bags. Lay the next row on top, offsetting the bags by a half of a bag’s width. Continue laying in this alternating pattern until the wall is high enough to prevent flooding. After each course is laid down, push down firmly on each bag to seat it securely against the neighboring sandbags. If the wall is expected to be more than 3 feet high, lay a second wall layer beside the first to keep the structure upright.

Protecting Homes With Sandbags

Sandbags can provide effective flood protection for structures on low ground. The weight and flexibility of the sand creates a watertight seal when the bags are stacked to build a barrier between home foundations and potential for rising water. Sandbags can be purchased at home supply stores, but in some flood situations, a trip to the store is not possible. If you live in flood-prone areas, make your own sandbags in advance or keep supplies on hand to make them if and when they are needed.
