Broken Pipe Causes Flooding in New Haven Business?

4/18/2023 (Permalink)

We restore commercial water damage 24 hours a day in Macomb County.

Our local team in Northeast Macomb is a trusted leader in water damage restoration services in New Haven. The Insurance Institute of Business and Home Safety (IBHS) suggests utilizing the following floodproofing techniques to keep your building watertight and prevent water intrusion issues:

• Keep a supply of flood-protective materials/products on hand to help divert water away from the building such as water-absorbent barriers or sandbags, or plastic sheeting/tarps for relatively shallow flooding
• Install watertight shields over all doors and windows at least 3 feet above the BFE or the 500-year flood level, if known. The type of barrier used will depend on the size and type of opening.
• For temporary protection of large sections of a building such as large commercial doors or entranceways that may be exposed to deeper flood waters, water-filled barriers can be interconnected and stacked to divert water away from openings.
• Install moveable flood gates, permanent swing flood doors, or submarine doors (the latter two options provide permanent flood protection for deeper water) if feasible.
• For repetitive deep and prolonged flooding, permanent flood walls that surround the property may be considered
