Protecting Naples Restaurants: Advanced Flood Barriers Ready for Hurricane Season

As hurricane season approaches, local businesses in Naples, Florida are taking proactive steps to protect themselves from devastating flood damage. Alberto Varetto, owner of Alberto's on Fifth, is leading by example after Hurricane Ian caused severe flooding in his restaurant three years ago, wiping out his livelihood.

This year, Alberto has decided to partner with Xero Technologies, an authorized FlowStop dealer, to install cutting-edge flood barriers designed to provide reliable water protection.

Innovative Flood Barrier Technology for Every Opening

Xero Technologies, FlowStop's first authorized distributor, worked closely with the restaurant to ensure each opening was compatible with the Flowstop flood barriers. This high-performance flood barrier expands to fit securely into door frames, preventing water from entering during severe storms and flooding events. The technology provides a smart, adaptable solution that meets the specific flood protection needs of businesses large and small.

Why Flood Protection Matters in Hurricane Season

The risk of flooding during hurricanes is not just a disruption but a potential devastation for restaurants and other small businesses. Protecting venues with effective flood barriers enables owners like Alberto to safeguard their investments, reduce downtime, and continue serving their communities even under adverse weather conditions.

As Mark Crabtree from Xero Technologies emphasizes, the goal is to help every business in Naples stay open through hurricanes to keep downtown thriving. When businesses protect themselves with flood barriers and are prepared early, entire communities benefit.

Start Preparing for Floods Now

Alberto’s advice is clear: preparation cannot wait until a hurricane warning is issued. Long before storms come, taking steps to install flood barriers and flood protection systems is critical. 

For reliable flood barriers and water protection that keep your business safe through hurricane season, contact FlowStop or an authorized dealer like Xero Technologies today. Protect your restaurant and community from flooding before the next storm arrives.
