When you discover flood damage in your Mount Clemens business or home, our local team in Mount Clemens and New Baltimore can help. Here are some tips from The Insurance Institute of Business and Home Safety (IBHS) to keep your home or building watertight and prevent flooding and other water intrusion issues:

If your home or building is in or near a flood-prone area, consider utilizing these dry floodproofing techniques to make your building watertight and prevent floodwaters from entering.

• Keep a supply of flood-protective materials and products on hand to help divert water away from the building, such as water-absorbent barriers, 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
