How it works
Keep Storm Stop stored dry. When water becomes a concern, activate the bags and set them in place.
1
Soak in fresh water
1 Saturate each bag with fresh water from a hose, bucket or tub.
2
Let it expand
2 Give the bags about 10 minutes to fully expand.
3
Build the barrier
3 Set the bags tight together. Over 3.5″ of water, stack them in a brick pattern.
4
Keep an eye on it
4 Check the barrier now and then and reposition bags if needed.
Stacking: use a 1 to 3 ratio. For every 1 ft of height, make the base 3 ft wide, and build higher than the water you expect.
