In Topic: What Is The Best Flood Protection For The Home?

I boarded up my front and back doors 6 days ago, future board with duct tape, then a canvas sheet with 50cm on the floor and then sandbags up to a metre. The first two days we were dry and then water started to seep in. I have now put up a second barrier (board and silicone) at the back. The front door is also leaking (we have to sponge up the water every two hours) but we have been living in this situation for nearly a week now, using a bedroom window as access (its a single storey house)and we'll stay as long as we have electricity and water. I think you should forget trying to stop the water getting into the surrounding area (your garden) and concentrate on bathroom and front and back doors.
Once the doors are sealed up, you should silicone inside the door as well.

I'm between Nong Chok and Minburi, we have a metre of water around the house and if it goes up any more we must evacuate.
