FAQ

Clear answers before work begins.

Is a flood door the same as a normal exterior door?

No. Flood-resistant systems are designed around water pressure, seals, frames, hardware and the surrounding opening.

Can a flood door work at a basement walkout?

Potentially, but the approach slope, drainage, threshold and expected water conditions must be reviewed first.

Does a flood door replace drainage improvements?

Not necessarily. Effective protection may require drainage and opening protection to work together.
