As the climate changes, flooding is a real threat to businesses across the UK. From torrential downpours to overflowing rivers, a flood can wreak havoc on your property, equipment, and crucial documents. This is why it’s important to take steps to reduce the likelihood of flood damage. Flood barriers from Stormguard Floodplan are a proactive and cost-effective solution that can provide your business with much needed protection.
Flood barriers act as a physical barrier between your building and floodwater. They can be quickly deployed around doorways, entrances, and perimeters, creating a watertight seal which keeps flood waters at bay. This safeguards your valuable equipment, furniture, and inventory from water damage, potentially saving you tens of thousands of pounds in repair and replacement costs.
A flood can bring your business operations to a standstill. Damage caused by floodwater can take weeks or even months to repair, leading to lost profit and productivity. Flood barriers help prevent this disruption by keeping your business operational. By stopping floodwater from entering your premises you can minimise downtime and get back to business as usual much quicker.
Flooding can create a hazardous environment for your employees. Floodwater can be contaminated with sewage, chemicals, and debris, which creates a health risk to anyone who comes into contact with it. Flood barriers act as a safeguard, preventing contaminated water from entering your workplace and keeping your employees safe.
Compared to the potential financial losses caused by flooding, flood barriers are a relatively inexpensive investment. They are reusable, meaning they can be deployed time and again during flood events. Additionally, flood barriers can help you qualify for lower flood insurance premiums, further reducing your overall costs.
Our flood barriers are designed for ease of use. Many systems can be deployed by a small team or even a single person, without the need for heavy machinery or specialist skills. This allows for a quick response when a flood threat arises.
