Dams against flooding help men feel safe when the whole town is in the sea

This flood protection system has many advantages and is also very easy to use and install.

The last great flood in Texas, the United States has caused thousands of homes to sink in the sea, except for Randy Wagner's house, which is still safe thanks to the dam system he found online.

Texas flooded in white flood.

Before the flood, receiving a warning from the authorities about the big flood coming soon, Wagner decided he could not stand and watch his house sink into the sea. He tried his luck with a product called AquaDam, sold on aquadam.net with the affirmation that " the biggest water-filled cofferdam system".

Wagner said he went to Louisiana to buy the dam and then installed it with two other people within a few hours.

To install this dam system, Wagner filled the 120-meter-long, 70cm-diameter pipe made of plastic tarpaulin.

Wagner said: "When I did these things, everyone passing by laughed and thought I was crazy. But today they all have to be impressed with this dam."

Prepare before the flood comes.

During the flood, Wagner and his family waited anxiously. The water has risen to nearly 70cm but never overflows the dam.

The dam costs about $ 8300 but helps Wagner protect the house that could have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to repair and change after the flood.

Wagner hopes people can learn how to install this simple dam to protect themselves from future disasters.

The advantages of water-proof dams must include flexibility, ease of movement, ease of use, and allow for quick removal after floods. According to aquadam.net, in the US, normal sandbag flood protection dykes for a section 30 meters long and 90cm high can cost up to $ 10,200 due to the high price of sandbags. Moreover, people also have to transport sand from other places and stack up on each other in preparation, taking a lot of time and effort.

The current sandbag breaker system is very inconvenient and expensive.

Meanwhile, damaging water buffers does not require users to take heavy transport or arrange such as using sand or concrete dams, but just buy a piece of available plastic tubing and pump water from their own house. is done. For a small house, the "crank" process only requires 2 people to work in about 20 minutes, the cost is only about 2000-3000 USD (price in the US). After the flood has ended, users just need to remove the water from the bag and fold it out.

Water buffering systems are much less expensive and flexible.

If there is a dam, it is difficult to flood.
