Choose a barrier according to what needs to be controlled and where it will be used. Silt socks, drain protection products, flood pillows and water-filled booms perform different functions, so consider the liquid or material involved, the area being protected, expected water movement and the intended deployment before selecting a product.
Choosing a Spill or Flood Barrier
Drain seals and covers can provide temporary protection around suitable drains, while silt socks can help manage sediment and runoff. FloodSmart flood pillows and water-filled booms provide other options for water control and temporary barrier applications. For broader containment solutions, see our spill control and containment range.
Check the Application & Site Conditions
Before selecting a barrier, consider the surface, dimensions, expected flow or runoff, contaminants or sediment involved and how the product will be positioned or deployed. Check the specifications of the individual product against the intended application and site conditions before use.

Spill & Flood Barriers for Water, Runoff & Site Protection
Spill and flood barriers provide practical options for controlling water, sediment, runoff and other liquids around worksites, buildings and drainage areas. The right product depends on what needs to be controlled, where the barrier will be positioned and the conditions expected at the site.
Spillmaster's range includes silt socks, drain seals and covers, FloodSmart flood pillows and water-filled booms. These products perform different functions, so selection should be based on the particular spill, stormwater, sediment or flood-control application rather than treating every barrier as interchangeable.
Choosing the Right Spill or Flood Barrier
For drain protection, consider the drain dimensions, surrounding surface and the liquid that may need to be controlled. For sediment and runoff applications, consider the direction and expected movement of water as well as the material being carried. Flood barriers should be selected according to the area being protected, anticipated water conditions and how the barrier will be deployed.
Always check the specifications and intended use of the individual product before deployment. Chemical compatibility, surface condition, dimensions and environmental conditions can affect whether a particular barrier is suitable for an application.
Different Barriers for Different Applications
Drain seals and covers can provide temporary protection around suitable drains. Silt socks can be positioned where sediment and runoff need to be managed. FloodSmart flood pillows provide a compact flood-response option, while water-filled booms can be used to create temporary barriers for suitable water-control applications.

Spill & Flood Barrier FAQs
Which type of spill or flood barrier should I choose?
Start with the problem you need to control. Drain seals and covers are intended for suitable drain-protection applications, silt socks can help manage sediment and runoff, and flood pillows or water-filled booms provide options for water-control applications. Check the individual product specifications against your site conditions before selection.
Can these barriers be used for chemical or fuel spills?
Suitability depends on the individual barrier and the substance involved. Do not assume a product suitable for water or sediment is also suitable for fuels, chemicals or other hazardous liquids. Check the product specifications and chemical compatibility before use.
What are silt socks used for?
Silt socks can be used as part of sediment and runoff management around suitable construction, civil and industrial sites. Placement should take account of the site layout, expected water movement and the sediment or debris being managed.
Can spill and flood barriers be reused?
It depends on the product, how it has been used and whether it has been contaminated or damaged. Check the instructions for the individual product before cleaning, storing or attempting to reuse it after deployment.
How should spill and flood barriers be stored?
Follow the storage instructions for the individual product and keep emergency barriers readily accessible to the people who may need to deploy them. Products should also be inspected periodically so damage, deterioration or missing components can be identified before an emergency.
