The “When, Where, and Why” of flood barriers

Why Opt for Temporary Flood Barriers for Homes?

• Ease of Installation
  The company brings the cofferdam(s) to where you need to repel rising water. The tubes will suck on-site water to inflate the dam slowly and evenly. Once the dam is full, it will rest firmly against the ground and then repel any water penetration. The main advantage is that the cofferdams leave little or no footprint, which eliminates the concerns of altering the aesthetic appearance of your property.
• Ease of Removal
  Temporary flood barriers are easy to remove when the area is no longer at risk. Our cofferdams, in particular, are deflated after the flood recedes. Once the barrier is removed, it leaves little to no footprint on the surroundings. Its portability and light-weight design means storing it is easy and if you move, you’re not abandoning your investment, because you can bring it with you.
• Adaptable to Landscape
  Our cofferdams are available in a variety of designs. So, they can conform to a wide variety of property designs.

Information: What Happens Indoors When Snow Melts

Areas with heavy snowfall know the snow will inevitably melt and the season of frigid temperatures, shoveling, scraping windshields, layering clothes, and seeing your breath will end… eventually. Even though it feels like it never will! But with that thaw and the snow melting comes a different kind of problem for the newly melted snow- it becomes water that seeps into the ground and overruns lower areas.

What if all this water seepage makes its way into your home? What if it leaks through holes and cracks and overtakes YOUR space? How do you protect and prevent melting snow from ruining your belongings? You treat it similarly to flood waters!

Information: Dangers of Melting Snow Outside

Snow can be very beautiful, but most of us don’t want it to last too long. Aside from its beauty, it’s very cumbersome, it’s cold, and it’s wet. Well, once it melts, it’s equally as problematic. If temperatures are conducive, it can re-freeze and create sheets of ice on the ground making driving and walking dangerous, or it begins to melt and mix with snow that hasn’t warmed and it become sludge which is heavy and hard to keep out of the way, and finally, it can melt and continue melting until it’s all puddles and pools on sidewalks, in the grass, filling sewage drains, making everything an awful, wet mess.
