Elevator Flood Protection

Elevator Flood Protection

Effective Water Barrier to Prevent Elevator Flooding

Flood Risk America is a proud member of the National Association of Elevator Contractors

Elevator pits are typically the lowest point in a building, making them one of the most vulnerable areas for flooding. Without elevator flood protection, floodwaters can damage elevator equipment and leave the entire building's elevator system out of service for an extended period. In some cases, the financial burden can reach hundreds of thousands of dollars with full system replacements.

Additionally, many insurance companies have strict policies regarding elevator flood damage. Some won't provide full coverage if proper precautions weren't taken, such as sending the elevator cab to the second level before a flood event. Failing to meet these requirements could leave property owners with massive out-of-pocket expenses.

Don't take the risk - protect your elevators with custom elevator flood protection that provide some of the strongest defense against even the harshest storms.
