1 lb dry. 33 lbs in 3 minutes. Just add water. StormBag is the fastest, easiest way to protect your home from floods, storms, and water damage — no sand, no shovels.

When flood waters rise, the last thing you want is a sandbag system that fails you. Traditional sandbags have three critical problems.
Traditional sandbags weigh 40+ lbs when filled. Moving dozens during a flood is dangerous and often impossible alone.
You need tons of sand, shovels, and a crew to fill basic flood protection — none of which you have when storm waters are rising.
By the time you fill, transport, and stack enough traditional sandbags, it may already be too late to protect your home.
StormBag's sandless sandbag technology deploys faster than any traditional flood protection method.
Position the lightweight 1 lb sandless sandbag wherever flood water may enter — doorways, garages, window wells, or basement entries.
Spray with a hose or let the rising floodwater do the work. StormBag's polymer core absorbs water and begins expanding immediately.
In just 3 minutes, each StormBag expands to 33 lbs and forms a solid, interlocking water barrier — no sand, no shovels, no crew needed.
Watch one person protect an entire doorway from flood water in under three minutes — no sand, no shovels required.
See exactly why StormBag is the superior flood protection solution for homeowners, businesses, and emergency responders.

Everything you need to know about sandless sandbag flood protection.
StormBags remain fully expanded as long as they stay wet. In hot, dry conditions they will gradually lose moisture over 1–2 weeks. If left in standing floodwater they stay at full size indefinitely.
For a standard doorway we recommend 4–6 bags stacked two layers high. For a garage door or larger opening, 8–12 bags. For full perimeter home protection, 25–50+ bags depending on your home's footprint and local flood risk. Use our Storm Protection Planner to get a personalized recommendation.
StormBag must be activated with fresh water — use a garden hose, sprinkler, or any freshwater source. The super-absorbent polymer does not activate properly in salt water. However, once fully hydrated with fresh water, StormBag effectively blocks salt water flooding, including coastal storm surge and hurricane flooding. For coastal homeowners: hydrate your StormBags with a freshwater source before deploying against rising salt water. (Freshwater means any non-saltwater source — tap water, garden hose, rain, pool water, or standing floodwater. It does not need to be filtered or drinkable.)
Absolutely. That's one of StormBag's core advantages. Each bag weighs just 1 lb dry, so a single person can carry a box of 10 or 25 and deploy a complete barrier in minutes — no crew, no equipment, no sand required.
Unused, dry StormBags stored in their original packaging have a shelf life of 5+ years when kept in a cool, dry location away from moisture. They're ideal for keeping on hand for emergency preparedness — ready to deploy at a moment's notice when a storm threatens.
