Duct tape around doors... Yeah sure. But who thought that was a good situation for sand bags? They're for outside use.

As is with typical modern day geniuses, both apparently isn’t an option.

I've tried using sandbags for floods, they don't do shit.

I recall maybe mythbusters making a boat out of gaffer tape but I don't recall ever seeing anyone make a boat our of sandbags!
here it is

Sandbags wrapped in a tarp would probably do pretty well, then duct tape the seams. That gives you a heavy barrier and a waterproof membrane as well. Keeps it off your walls too, which may or may not let water leak through if there is a reasonable depth of water against them.

But it also depends on your house and the stuff around it. Where I live surface flooding would have to get past my front wall and there is just a narrow path through the brick wall. So sealing there would make the most sense.

At least until it reaches the height for sewers to back up and flow into my house. Then may as well burn it all down and abandon it.

Can I wrap my house in duct tape

But what kind of tape is this? Wide electrical?

Duct tape could be useful as an improvised protection. It requires the door to be kept closed.

A waterproof panel right in front of the door would allow to keep using the door. Obviously it requires acquiring those ahead of time, possibly work on the door opening to ensure it fits perfectly.

The least you could do is spell it correctly, but that bone-apple-tea is disturbingly prevalent. 🤦🏼‍♂️

edit: Downvote all you want, fellow plebs. It's your ass if you take that incorrect name at face value. Just try it on ducting and see if you don't earn yourself massive repairs that require an actual professional to fix for you.

It's "duck tape", because it repells water like their feathers. It can neither withstand heat nor blowout pressure.

Gawdamn, this civ is fucked.
