Home Defense Products
Aluminum Plank Flood Barrier System
Engineered Opening Protection
Water most often enters a building through structural openings. The TrapBag® Aluminum Plank System is designed to protect doors, garages, storefronts, and loading docks during storm surge and rising water events.
Each system is engineered for your specific opening based on protection height, width, and structural conditions. Structural aluminum planks stack into permanently mounted side channels, creating a compression-sealed barrier during flood events.
Best For:
- Garage openings
- Waterfront homes
- Commercial entrances
- Mechanical rooms
- Municipal facilities
Why It Stands Apart:
- Reusable modular design
- Minimal storage space for planks
- Corrosion-resistant aluminum
- Engineered per opening
- Can integrate with perimeter TrapBag® systems for layered protection
For residential installations, TrapBag® partners with Emerald Green for professional installation, seasonal removal, and pre-storm readiness management.
Water-Filled Barriers
Water-Filled Barriers
Rapid Deployment Flood Protection
When time is limited, fast deployment matters. The TrapBag® Water-Filled Barrier is a reusable system designed for short-term flood mitigation.
Each modular unit fills with water to create a stable barrier capable of holding back up to 16 inches (0.4 m) of water when installed correctly. Units connect together to protect wider spans across doorways, garages, storefronts, and facility entrances.
Lightweight when empty and compact in storage, this system offers a cleaner and more efficient alternative to traditional sandbags.
Best For:
- Doorways and garages
- Storefront protection
- Facility entrances
- Temporary perimeter defense
- Emergency response situations
What Makes It Effective:
- Rapid deployment
- Reusable design
- Replaceable bladders
- Modular 54-inch units
- Designed for static or low-velocity floodwater
Proper liner sealing during installation is required for performance.
Layered Property Protection
Flood mitigation works best when it addresses both:
- Incoming water energy
- Vulnerable structural openings
Home Defense systems can be used independently or paired with larger perimeter systems for layered protection.
This approach helps property owners and facility managers:
- Reduce the risk of water intrusion
- Protect critical access points
- Prepare ahead of severe weather
- Redeploy season after season
Who Home Defense Is For
Home Defense is designed for decision-makers who want control over property-level flood preparation:
- Business owners
- Property managers
- Facility directors
- Waterfront homeowners
- Light commercial operators
It is not intended for permanent dam construction or high-velocity river diversion. For engineered infrastructure projects, visit our Engineered Systems section.
Prepared Before the Storm
Storm surge, flash flooding, and seasonal water rise events are not always predictable. Preparation is.
TrapBag® Home Defense products give you the ability to install protection quickly, remove it after the event, and store it for future use.
Flood mitigation is not just about reacting. It is about planning ahead with a system you can rely on.
