Would you trust duct tape more than sandbags to hold back a flood? New tests suggest you might want to! π§β
New tests by Flood Re and the University of Hull found that high-quality duct tape reduced water leaking through doors by 97-98% under test conditions.
Itβs a simple reminder that flood resilience doesnβt always require expensive measures. Small steps taken before the water arrives can make a real difference.
And if flooding does get in, ServiceMaster Restore can help with rapid water extraction, controlled drying, and moisture monitoring to speed up recovery.
