Floodbreak is a revolutionary flood barrier that automatically rises in times of flooding to protect your property. It can be placed in front of any opening and be designed for any flood water level.

Floodbreak resembles a hinged box that is recessed into the ground in front of the opening. Because it is recessed, it lays completely flat to the surrounding area, allowing unrestricted access at all time. It has been engineered for extreme loads, and for instance is able to withstand the weight of a fully loaded truck driving over it. The top of the barrier can be covered with almost any finish material, making it blend in with the surrounding areas.

The greatest attribute of this product is that it is the flood water that makes it work. There is no human or electrical input needed for this system to operate. Its operation is very simple. The recessed box is attached to the local storm drainage system, which allows normal rain accumulation to simply drain away. When the storm drain systems have filled up, the box can no longer drain and water starts to accumulate. As the water rises in the box, the buoyancy of the lid starts to lift the barrier. Rubber flanges on the sides and at the hinge prevent water from passing around the barrier. The barrier will rise with the water and will lower as the water recedes.

Engineered and tested to meet the highest codes and standards, Floodbreak is the ultimate in passive flood defense systems.
