Flood Barriers for Garage Doors
Fitting Flood Barriers for Garage Doors
One of the areas of almost every home and business that we visit that needs some form of flood protection is the garage. When you consider that a garage door extends right to the ground it is a prime area to be penetrated by flood waters. In order to protect garages from floods our normal course of action is to install flood barriers for garage doors. This can massively reduce the risk of a property flooding, which could cost thousands for repairs.
What are flood barriers
When we install flood barriers for garage doors we use the exact same system as we would around other parts of a home. Flood barriers are made of a PVC sheet which slot into nylon channels that are installed on the side of the door. With flood barriers for garage doors we will often install a post at the midpoint of the garage to give the best possible protection. This post is removable and we can install a cap to ensure that you can use your garage normally when you have no need for the flood barriers.
Our flood barriers have been tested in line with quality guidelines and have been proven to work as excellent flood protection.
Case Study : Garage Door in Warrington
Being on the banks of the River Mersey it is no surprise that areas of Warrington are prone to floods. One of our recent clients was a business based not far from the river. They had suffered thousands of pounds worth of damage to their premises when one of their garages was flooded.
This included the loss of several items of plant which were difficult to replace. In order to prevent future flooding we installed flood barriers for garage doors to make sure that these areas were not flooded in future. The cost of the flood barriers was just a fraction of the price that the company paid to replace the plant.
