If you’re using sandbags for the first time, it’s important to use the right technique to ensure they’re effective. Make sure to fill the bags more than halfway. Overfilling may leave gaps for water to get in.
For the best flood protection, stack the bags like bricks, kind of like building a wall, and aim for a height of at least three feet.
