Flooding is the most common natural disaster in the United States, and the flooding of public buildings is becoming increasingly frequent across coastal, inland, urban, and suburban communities.

Local civic and municipal facilities face an unprecedented risk of flood-related damage due to changing weather patterns and more severe storms. According to research from the Pew Charitable Trusts, the top 100 highest-risk counties in the U.S. are home to 6,444 critical public facilities, putting nearly 4 million daily occupants and vital community resources at risk.

​

When a flood strikes a public building, it triggers immediate facility closures, operational delays, and massive taxpayer expenditures for repairs and environmental remediation. Secondary hazards like toxic mold can render these essential spaces unusable for extended periods. Because of this growing risk, public buildings and educational campuses must have a proactive flood mitigation plan in place to protect their infrastructure.

FlowStop delivers rapid-deployment flood barriers and water diversion solutions designed to keep water completely out of public buildings, away from municipal grounds, and clear of critical utility infrastructure—such as elevators, HVAC units, and boilers. Our custom-fit systems deploy in minutes to protect doorways, stairwells, and entire facility envelopes, rolling up compactly for easy on-site storage.​​​​
