Can you guess what the number one natural disaster in Canada is? If you guessed floods, then you are correct. Floods cost Canadian taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars every year, yet most Canadians feel unprepared for flood disasters . With over $2.5 billion in flood insurance claims filed every year, it is clear that Canadians are in fact unprepared for floods.
Being proactive, and having a prepared means to deal with flooding can greatly reduce the costs of damages. While most people are aware of traditional means of flood protection, such as sandbagging, many Canadians are simply unaware of new, technologically advanced innovations.
One option, currently offered by Vasalta Canada is taking the market by storm. Chosen by Canadian municipalities and governments, Quik-Response Self-Expanding Sandbags have helped countless individuals protect their properties from Canadian flooding.
This sand-free alternative to traditional sandbags functions similarly to its counterpart, but with one major difference- they require no sand filling and expand by themselves. Initially compact and weightless, each Quik-Response sandbag expands to about 40lbs in minutes when contacted by water. At that point, they prove to be an effective flood barrier. This allows individuals to store a great number of bags in a compact area, quickly transport to any flood site, and deploy the sandbags in minutes without a team. As an added bonus, these sandless sandbags are environmentally safe and non toxic.
Currently used by many Canadian municipalities and governments, this flood protection product is a great option for anyone looking to protect their home from floodwater damages. By having Quik-response on hand, homeowners can rest assured that their property is safe.
