storm and flood protection

Climate change is set to make summer floods more frequent by the end of the century, and to raise sea levels. By 2080 5 million people are projected to be exposed to flood risk, a more than five fold increase.

Adverse rainfall and flooding can have catastrophic effects on your property and business. A correctly maintained system can keep a safe level of water around the affected property.

Should your property be in a high risk area of flooding, your insurance company will require proof of a servicing and maintenance schedule otherwise your insurance policy will be null and void in the event of a flood. Failure to do so could lead to costly repairs to fund at your own expense.

Flood Protection and Prevention can come in all shapes and sizes

From Barriers, Backwash Valves, Anti Flood Air Bricks and Flood Barrier Seals. While all these products are effective in their designed purpose, they should always be backed up by a pumped system.

Be that either a temporary portable measure or a permanent underground system, they are still the best way to move excess flooding from the required area.

The Barriers, Backwash Valves, Anti Flood Airbricks and Flood Barrier Seals are designed to slow or divert the flood water to another area and can also allow some water to seep through walls and floors and rain can of course land in the area you are attempting to remove excess water.

A correctly designed, installed and maintained Pumping Station can alleviate the flood risk in the right areas of your property. Coupled with a temporary portable system the flood risk can be eradicated with the right approach.
