What is Dry Floodproofing?
Dry floodproofing protects a building by keeping water out completely, unlike wet floodproofing that allows water to enter a building and relies on managing it. The dry floodproofing method uses flood products like panels to prevent flooding.
The Benefits of Dry Floodproofing
- Prevent costly flood damage to property and assets
- Protect critical equipment like electrical panels and HVAC systems
- Reduce insurance premiums with certified floodproofing solutions
- Ensure quicker recovery after a storm
The dry floodproofing method is best for properties where keeping water out is critical, like hospitals, commercial buildings, or electrical rooms.

What is dry floodproofing?
Dry floodproofing is a flood protection method that prevents water from entering a building by sealing vulnerable entry points (doors, vents, loading docks, etc.) with barriers and watertight systems.
What types of buildings need dry floodproofing?
Dry floodproofing is ideal for critical facilities that can't afford water intrusion, such as hospitals, data centers, commercial buildings, electrical rooms, parking garages, and other essential infrastructure.
What areas of a building can be protected with dry floodproofing?
Common protection points include doors, loading docks, stairwells, elevator openings, vents, wall penetrations, ramps, and other low-level openings where floodwater typically enters first.
How long does it take to install dry floodproofing systems?
Installation timelines depend on the size of the facility and the number of openings needing protection. FRA provides an assessment and project timeline upfront, with solutions designed for efficient installation and fast deployment.
Can dry floodproofing help reduce flood damage costs?
Yes. By preventing floodwater from entering, dry floodproofing can significantly reduce damage to interiors, equipment, and electrical systems, helping minimize downtime, repairs, and recovery expenses.
Do dry floodproofing systems require maintenance?
Yes, like any system, routine inspections and maintenance are recommended to ensure seals, hardware, and barriers perform correctly during a flood. FRA offers ongoing support and maintenance services to keep systems flood-ready year-round.
