Property Protection
If you live in a flood prone area you may want to consider altering your building to help prevent
or reduce damage.
1. Elevating the building so that flood waters do not enter or reach any damageable portion of it.
2. Constructing barriers out of fill or concrete between the building and flood waters.
3. “Dry floodproofing” to make the building walls and floors watertight so water does not enter,
4. “Wet floodproofing” to modify the structure and relocate the contents so that when flood waters
enter the building there is little or no damage.
5. Preventing basement flooding from sewer backup or sump pump failure.
