No, you can't stack them. Just would need to get a larger dam... They are 2 ft wide for every 1 foot in height. You can get a dam as tall as 14 ft high. I used to be the Sales Director for the Southern distributor

NFIP should subsidize one of these for every home above a certain value. That's incredible.

I can't recall a policy that gives credits for mitigating hazards, but that would make a lot of sense.
If this flood was predicted far enough in advance, it would make sense for insurance companies to run around helping their customers set these up.

All of those homes are on well water. No MUD district in Simonton.

Homeowner's insurance does not cover flood.

Not for the insurance company. Actual hazards that cause payouts are few and far between. But if everyone started putting up reimbursable mitigating? Good way for an insurance company to go broke.
It would be like a health insurance paying people's vitamins and gym bills. Not gonna happen.

They were used on the entirety of grand isle beaches after BP.
I smokedone with a golf ball from a driver with no ill effects.

Some of my parents neighbors on the Red River used them. They had some seepage that they had to keep a sump pump to keep out the seepage, but it worked great otherwise.

thats why i asked about after the fact.
the guy did this on his own, if water never rises he spent the money on his own volition. if he can prove (which i think he can in this case) that it saved the insurance company a ton of money, he should be able to bill the cost back to them (in my make believe common sense world)

welp, these are the type of statements you make when you don't know the difference between home owners and flood insurance, or you have never been flooded.
