Protect Your Property with our Flood Compliance Experts

Every year, more homeowners find themselves navigating FEMA flood maps and wondering if their property is truly prepared. The truth is, waiting for another flood to expose vulnerabilities is too risky. At HOME MECHANIX, we help homeowners in Norfolk, VA, and surrounding areas stay ahead of costly damage with reliable flood mitigation built around FEMA guidelines.

Dry Floodproofing – Protects structures from flood damage by making them watertight. This involves sealing openings such as doors and windows with waterproof membranes or flood panels that keep the water out.

Wet Floodproofing – Allows flood waters to enter and exit the structure with measures in place that minimize the damage. Flood vents, for example, allow entry of flood waters into crawl spaces to equalize hydrostatic pressures on foundation walls. Also using materials that are resistant to water damage, such as waterproof flooring or treated lumber.

Wet floodproofing is designed to protect the structure but not so much the contents. Call HOME MECHANIX to better understand how we can help you protect your home.
