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.

Installing flood barriers or custom flood panels around elevator shafts, sealing entry points, and using water-resistant materials for critical components can help protect elevator systems. Additionally, having a flood response plan ensures a quick recovery after an event.
Can elevator flood protection help reduce insurance costs for elevators?
Yes, implementing flood protection measures can help lower insurance premiums by reducing the risk of damage. Many insurance providers offer discounts for proactive flood mitigation efforts.

Immediately shut off power to the elevator to prevent electrical hazards, avoid using the elevator, and contact a professional flood response team. A thorough inspection and drying process is necessary before safely restoring service.
