How To Protect Your Clearwater Home from Flooding

The Best Apartment & Home Flood Defense For Hurricane Storm Surge

Clearwater Beach, Florida, is home to commercial and residential properties that are investments worth protecting. Every year during hurricane season, our coastal homes are threatened by hurricanes' unpredictability and the very real threat of flooding. Did you know that just an inch of floodwater could cause thousands of dollars in damages?

We will share the top flood protection strategies for homes and businesses, helping you understand your options and implement the best storm surge protection solution for your home. For over 30 years, Big City Ventures and FloodGate Pro have provided home and business owners peace of mind: Their property will be safe, secure, and dry no matter what Mother Nature throws their way.

When protecting your home, sandbags might work in terms of value for money. However, it does not address reusability and reliability. We covered this more in-depth in our other article, “Engineered Flood Barriers vs. Natural Barriers”). When you invest in dependable flood protection solutions, like our flood barriers engineered to provide maximum protection against flooding and storm surge water, there are many benefits.

Homeowners who are seasoned and have dealt with flooding before know they want the best protection when it comes to flooding solutions. They understand the headache of dealing with insurance claims, replacing items from flooding, and the emotional toll on their family losing things they love. Alternatively, investing in proper flood protection solutions on average helps homes owners reduce their insurance rates between 6% to 23% while increasing property value (especially if you are in a high risk flooding area).

Every area has specific needs regarding flood protection. Natural barriers like landscaping are visually appealing and can help safeguard particular areas of your home from flooding but have limitations. When purchasing a flood protection solution, don’t settle for less then the best. Our floodgates and storm surge barriers undergo rigorous testing to withstand even the harshest conditions. This guarantees a reliable and strong barrier to protect your home from storm waters. Designed with both efficiency and simplicity in mind, these barriers can be quickly set up at the initial signs of an approaching storm.

Steps to protect your home's high-risk flood entry points are:

• Identify the key areas where water can infiltrate and cause substantial damage.
• Examples: Your doors, garages, or large windows (if not hurricane and flood proof).
• Install a barrier at these entry ways and risk spots for flood protection
• Invest in proper flood barriers, such as our innovative log stacking system, that are reliable, durable, and easy to use.

Clearwater's proximity to coastal waters and susceptibility to sudden storm surges mean each home requires its flooding defense strategy. We understand these local nuances and want to help you get peace of mind moving forward that your home or business in Clearwater Beach is protected by the best flood defense solution on the market.

The key to effective flood defense is preparedness. Florida storm season officially runs from June 1st to November 30th, but there haven’t been many significant hurricanes and storms rolling through after and before the season. Don’t wait – by then, it could be too late.
