Ways to Use Big Bags - Part 2

Big Bags USA Flood Barriers are an innovative solution to a huge problem. Flooding occurs every single year across the nation. It’s caused by many different types of occurrences, both weather-related, and often times from failures due to man-made sources. The devastation that can be caused by a single flood is incredible, but it’s also heartbreaking to watch. This is what drove us to create the Big Bags Flood Barrier. Our system was made to be easy to afford, fast to deploy, and easy to save for the next time. Here are several ways you can use Big Bags flood barriers, and how they can make all of the difference in your situation.


Mudslide Barriers

Mudslides will develop when water rapidly collects in the ground, resulting in a surge of water-soaked rock, earth, and debris. Mudslides are most common on steep slopes and can be triggered by natural disasters. More common disasters to trigger them would be hurricanes, earthquakes, and tropical storms. In the areas of the country where mudslides are most common, it’s important to have a plan in place for how to protect people, homes, and communities against them.

Flood Barriers

This one shouldn’t surprise you! Our flood barrier system was designed specifically for FLOODS! They work exceptionally well against tropical storms, hurricanes, flash floods, snowmelt, and more. When flooding is an issue in your community, Big Bags Flood Barriers are here to help. If your community hasn’t come up with a fast, easy, and affordable solution, it’s time to send them a note about Big Bags flood barrier system.

Levee Heightening

There can be many reasons to add height to a levee. Sometimes levees will fail when the water overtops the crest of the levee. Levee overtopping can be caused when floodwaters simply exceed the lowest crest of the levee system, or if high winds begin to generate larger swells in the surrounding water - causing it to crash over the levee. In cases where you expect this to happen, adding height to a levee can be instrumental in the success of the situation.

Storm Surge Protection

A storm surge is a rise in sea level that occurs during tropical cyclones, intense storms are also known as typhoons or hurricanes. These storms produce strong winds that push the water into shore, and this is what can cause part of the flooding. A storm surge is primarily caused by the winds and the ocean’s surface.

Military Blast Barriers

Blast barriers are designed to protect vulnerable buildings or other structures at the people inside them from the effects of a nearby explosion. These explosions could have many different causes, whether industrial accidents or military action. In the case of an expected blast, blast barriers can be set up to help protect. Big Bags USA, while most common for flooding, have many purposes that may be surprising, and the blast barriers is one of them.

Understanding Hydrophobic Soils

Last year, California saw what has been considered the worst wildfire season on record! Unfortunately, those wildfires aren't the only thing people in those areas of California need to be concerned with. Those wildfires lead to what is known as "hydrophobic soils," which can lead to flooding and mud flows. Keep reading to learn more about hyrophobic soils and why people in California and other wildfire prone areas need to be prepared and have flood protection on hand. Hydrophobic Soils  Hydrophoic soils are just what they sound like, soils that "fear" water. This condition causes water to collect on the surface rather than infiltrate into the ground. The main cause of hydrophobic soils is wildfires. These soils are created when hydrocarbon residue is created after organic material is burnt. That then soaks into empty pore spaces in the soils, making it impervious to water. While this condition is temporary, it can increase water repellency, surface runof...
