FLOODSAFE USA FAQs

What does FloodSafe USA do to help me protect my home or business? 
FloodSafe USA has processes in place to fully protect walls that are made of siding, stucco, brick, CMU, garage walls & metal siding for warehouse buildings. Each process varies slightly, but they are all aimed at sealing the existing wall to create a floodproof barrier.
How much does floodproofing cost?
FloodSafe USA takes a variety of factors into consideration when pricing a project, including but limited to linear footage of the exterior perimeter, wall penetrations, flood protection height desired, weep hole spacing, condition of existing walls, obstructions to wall access, a substrate that we are protecting, etc. Financing is available as well as a variety of options to allow you to choose the level of flood protection that is right for your home or business.
How much water can the floodproofing handle once complete?
FloodSafe USA can protect a wood-frame structure up to 36in of flood protection. Residents that have experienced one or more floods under 2’ are ideal candidates for dry floodproofing and should contact a Sales Advisor immediately for additional information.
Can floodproofing increase my property value?
Residents that have used the FloodSafe process, and survived the next flood can see an increase in their property value, according to our contacts in the real estate community.
Is there a warranty? 
FloodSafe USA offers a 2-year warranty against product defects and workmanship on the work that we perform.
What are the options for floodproofing that FloodSafe USA offers?
FloodSafe USA offers patented and flood-proven technology to protect door openings and low-lying windows. We have two types of systems in place: Manual & Automatic. The manual system will offer the same protection, but requires a human element for the installation of flood barriers. The most popular solution is our automatic system that offers a turnkey solution. Close your windows and doors before a flood and you are fully floodproofed!
So you’ve scheduled an assement with a Sales Advisor at FloodSafe USA, what should I expect? 
A 75-minute home visit of undivided attention, tailored to discovering the exact flood solution needs of clients. The first 35 minutes will be devoted to answering any and all question that potential clients may have, determining the history of flooding in the area, a walk-around of the property illustrating the potential threats of water intrusion as well as the Advisor outlining how our solution protects against such threats. The following 40 minutes will be dedicated to taking all measurements that an Advisor requires in order to prepare a final quote proposal to review.
How long will floodproofing take? Will it change the look of my home a lot?
The patented FloodSafe USA process is non-intrusive, can be completed in a 10-day window and leaves minimal aesthetic alterations to a home. This typically complies with HOA requirements and your home will be floodproofed the minute we walk away from the property.
How will the flood doors protect my home?
Our patented FloodSafe USA Residential Flood Doors will automatically protect you against you up to 36-in of hydrostatic pressure. These doors act under positive pressure, very similarly to submarine doors, by using the water pressure itself to seal the door shut. Our residential doors are custom-ordered to client’s desires, and look identical to a standard residential door. FloodSafe USA has the ability to retrofit existing doors to our flood proofing process, the only difference will be that these doors are now outward swinging.
Hurricane season is over, why should I be concerned about floodproofing now? 
Floodproofing is a pro-active, preventative solution to protecting one of the largest investment of your life. Just because hurricane season is no longer, that does not mean that the concern for flooding is no longer. Peace of mind year-round is a real benift of getting serious about floodproofing your home.
Has floodproofing worked for others? 
FloodSafe USA has serviced hundreds of residential & commercial buildings in the Greater Houston Area and across the United States for their flood solution needs. Check out the link to our testimoials HERE to find out more from our customers.

TESTIMONIALS

This floodproofing measure was installed after Memorial Day Flood of 2015 destroyed the lower level of the building. There is a commercial flood door in place as a backup in the event that water breaches the floodgate.

Braeburn Country Club

Having flooded three times before, this family decided they were not willing to go through that again. They proudly announced on Facebook after Hurricane Harvey in 2017 that their home was dry thanks to FloodSafe.

Martin Family

We did great. Don’t know about all the neighbors. They water cam up to about 1″ above the top of the foundation, but thanks to the flood proofing none came into the house.
