Contact UsWeather events have become more unpredictable than ever with devastating storms, floods, heavy rainfall, and hurricanes becoming more common. At the same time, commercial warehouses and workspaces have grown in size, scale, and complexity in urban environments. A flooded building doesn’t just mean lost paperwork; it can mean billions of dollars in sensitive equipment and inventory lost coupled with catastrophic downtime while a business recovers, underscoring the need for protection against flooding.
That’s why commercial flood protection from Flood Control America is more important than ever. Since 1997, we’ve helped hundreds of companies across the United States protect their assets from severe weather and floods. Our customizable, reliable flood barriers keep water out so you can return to business as soon as possible.
How Our Commercial Flood Barriers Work
Our commercial flood barriers are there when you need them – and gone when you don’t. Temporary flood barriers such as our IFCW™ offer swift deployment and removal. Using unobtrusive steel plates embedded in a concrete foundation, our Invisible Flood Control Wall (IFCW™) can be erected before a flood and easily removed after the event. This creates a durable and solid foundation that can withstand the force and current of rising or rapid flood waters, providing maximum protection even in extreme flood conditions. IFCW™ is ideal for protecting buildings, garages and public spaces.
- Fast installation: In the event of a flood, a working crew of three people can install 1,200 square feet of the IFCW™ in four hours.
- Incredible protection: IFCW™ walls are constructed from aluminum planks. Each plank features a soft rubber gasket to seal it in place. The planks are also designed to fill with water as flood height increases, reinforcing the barrier as water levels rise.
