Flood Mitigation Services

Stephen Gill, CEO of Flood Risk America

How It All Began

Flood Risk America was founded by CEO Stephen Gill after he witnessed the devastating impact of flooding firsthand while serving on the Hurricane Katrina Recovery Team. During the chaos, he recalls feeling "nature be still" - a moment that solidified his mission to prevent future flood devastation.

There was a major gap in the industry: few companies offered complete, guided solutions that combined expert flood risk analysis with real, hands-on mitigation. Property owners typically ran into one of two situations: either they worked with flood experts who gave advice but didn't stick around to help choose, install, or maintain the right product, or they dealt with flood product suppliers that offered generic products but didn't have the deep knowledge of flood risk and regulations.

Most property owners are left with cookie-cutter plans or scrambling after the fact, instead of having proactive strategies tailored to their specific flood risk. That's exactly the gap Flood Risk America was created to fill.

Flood Experts; Not Just Product Suppliers

Flood Risk America isn't a distributor of mass-produced, generic flood products - we are the manufacturers, the engineers, and the architectural flood protection experts behind the systems we install. While many companies simply sell barriers and leave property owners to figure out planning, fit, and performance, we provide end-to-end flood defense services for complete protection designed to keep water out and keep your operations running.
