Flood Protection - the 3 reasons you may be failing


5 minute read

Now is the best time to take a break and think about flood protection for the next season. Many home and business owners seem to believe that no matter what you do, once you are located in a floodplain area, water will get into your property and cause some damage during the season.

In fact, it is not valid. Today's market of flood protection goods, as well as technologies in the field, are so advanced that with the right approach, any home and business owner can provide the necessary level of flood safety during an average flood season. 

And while once in a while some severe disasters happen (and they will continue happening in the future), proper flood protection will help you minimise your losses significantly compared to other households or businesses in the area.

In this article, we shall discuss the 3 most probable reasons why your flood protection might have failed until now and how you can quickly fix this situation and improve the flood safety of your house or business in the upcoming flood season.

Reason #1 - You don't prepare in advance

Flood safety is precisely the matter that requires thorough preparation in advance. Most flood protection measures and products that you might have tried until now might have failed mainly because you didn't have time to study the matter, make an informed decision about the flood protection you are going to use and find the best solutions that work precisely for your property.

Another thing is the pricing. Prices for flood protection products naturally skyrocket as the flood season or hurricane approaches. Naturally, people are trying to save money or just wipe all the available products off the shelves without thinking too much about whether they are making the right decision that will work best for them and minimise their losses.

Preparing for floods in advance, you don't only get a chance to do thorough research, study all the available flood protection solutions, reviews and alternatives, but you also manage to save a great deal of money and make a smart investment in flood protection that would minimise your losses to the upcoming disaster.

Reason #2 - You don't consider the peculiarities of your property

Another reason flood protection may fail, and you seem to give up is the fact that by buying and installing anti-flooding solutions, you don't consider the peculiarities of your house and business.

For some buildings, it would be enough to seal the front door. Others have basement and garage gates and may think that flooding those areas is inevitable. At the same time, there are garage door flood barriers that provide thorough flood protection in this case.

Some buildings` architecture requires that you protect windows as well as doors from flooding. Others are built the way that you may require a dire around the whole property to prevent severe damage.

Choosing and installing your flood protection, it is essential to analyse your previous experience with floods and consider all property's peculiarities. In this case, you won't have to compromise and will get the necessary flood protection for the whole building.

Reason #3 - You used the wrong flood protection products

Last but not least reason why your flood protection may fail is the fact that you are simply using the wrong products for your house or business.

No matter how well-tested or popular some method may be, whatever works in California may fail in Florida. Even the flood protection highly recommended by your neighbour may not work for your property due to its architecture, materials or your ability and readiness to install it properly.

Luckily, today there are more versatile solutions that have already shown themselves equally efficient in different parts of the world and for different types of buildings and properties.

The modern flood barriers are easy to install and remove and don't require any special equipment, skill or professional assistance to guarantee you thorough flood protection.

For example, to install a flood door, you will need to call a qualified technician; otherwise, you risk leaving gaps and distortions that will later invite floodwater into your house.

Another reason to consider flood barriers when you choose your flood protection is that they work equally good for front doors as well as basement passages and garage gates. In other words, one solution gets you covered, and you don't have to compromise on one area of your house while saving another.

Modern flood barriers are adjustable. You can easily broaden them using a pretty simple yet reliable mechanism, so they can match the measurements of any door, gate or passage precisely, sealing it from floodwater.

And unlike most traditional flood protection methods, flood barriers instantly provide you with a 3-foot barrier without any additional effort. Imagine how hard would you have to work to get a 3-foot dike with sandbags!

That said, flood barriers is a versatile, reliable and well-tested flood protection product that works great for houses or businesses, standard doors or wide gates.
