Flood Protection FAQs | Flood Barrier Pros

Openings must be clean, level, and structurally sound. We laser-measure thresholds, check slab slope tolerance (≤3 mm), and verify substrate compressive strength above 2,500 psi. A smooth surface ensures gasket compression to ASTM E330 standards.

Typical 3–5 opening homes complete within one working day. Complex perimeters or multiple garage spans may require 2–3 days. Panels are prefabricated from CAD scans to reduce onsite fabrication time.

Yes. Aluminum side channels anchor with 316 SS bolts and marine-grade epoxy. Tracks remain low-profile year-round and are paintable for aesthetics. Removable clamps are available for heritage façades.

Most jurisdictions classify flood barriers as dry-floodproofing devices. Permanent anchoring needs a minor permit; removable panels generally do not. We file through ePermitting for each city (Clearwater flood barriers, Naples, etc.).

Engineering drawings, material certification, site prep, anchor setting, panel fitting, and homeowner demonstration. Optional pressure-test certification available upon request.

Yes. We shim or grind within 3 mm tolerance and use compressive EPDM gaskets to close gaps. For slopes exceeding 1 inch per 4 ft, we fabricate tapered panels.

Every completed system undergoes a static water test for 15 minutes to verify seal continuity. Results are documented for insurance compliance.

Clients receive a maintenance manual, torque schedule, and direct technician line. Annual inspection renewals extend the 10-year structural warranty.
