Protecting your home or business from flooding requires a thorough strategy which addresses various vulnerabilities within and around your property. At Stormguard Floodplan, we understand the profound impact flooding can have, both financially and emotionally. That’s why we offer a multi-step flood defence approach to safeguard your property effectively with our range of products. In this blog post we’ll cover these measures and how they can help you keep your property safe.
The first step is to conduct a thorough flood survey. Our experts visit your property to assess its specific needs and identify potential problem areas. We understand that every property is unique, so we provide tailored recommendations that suit your property, location, and budget.
One crucial part of flood defence is the installation of flood barriers. These temporary barriers provide fast and effective protection from floodwater, particularly in areas where flooding is predictable or seasonal. Our door barriers can be fitted quickly and easily, creating a watertight seal to stop floodwater in its tracks. Tested to BSI Standards, our barriers offer convenient protection for patios, garage doors, fire exits, and more.
In addition to flood barriers, we offer solutions like sump pumps. Installed in the lowest part of your basement, these pumps automatically remove floodwater to keep the area dry and prevent flooding. Our sump pumps are capable of pumping thousands of gallons of water per hour, significantly reducing the risk of flooding.
For properties with outdoor spaces, flood fencing provides robust protection against rising waters. Combining PVC fencing with patented flood seals, our fencing systems can withstand significant lateral force and prevent water ingress. With a range of colours available, our flood fencing blends seamlessly with your surroundings while offering long-lasting durability and minimal maintenance.
To address vulnerabilities in your property’s structure, we offer waterproofing solutions. Our Vaxseal waterproof wall sealant provides a clear, long-lasting barrier against water seepage, complementing other flood protection measures such as flood doors, barriers, and sump pumps.
