Benefits of Using Flood Gates for Houses
1. Keep Water Outside the Doorway
A house usually floods through the door gap first. The flood gate creates a tight seal at the entrance and blocks rising water before it crosses the threshold. This protects the interior from immediate flooding.
2. Protect Flooring, Furniture, and Interior Materials
Residential flooring, cabinets, and wall panels are sensitive to water. Once wet, they warp or grow mold. By preventing water entry at the door, homeowners avoid major repair costs and preserve the condition of their living space.
3. Minimize Cleanup and Post-Storm Labor
When water enters a house, cleaning takes hours or even days. A sealed doorway stops mud, dirt, and debris from entering. After a storm, homeowners only need basic exterior cleanup instead of interior restoration.
4. Reduce the Risk of Mold and Moisture Damage
Moisture trapped inside a home creates hidden problems that last months. The flood gate prevents water intrusion and helps maintain dry indoor conditions. This lowers the chance of mold, odors, and long-term humidity damage.
Applications of NFP-50 Flood Gate
- Main house entrance doors
- Back doors and garden-facing doors
- Side doors located close to ground level
- Residential doors exposed to coastal waves or rainwater flow
- Homes in low-lying neighborhoods
- Houses with sloped driveways directing water toward the door
- Residences in storm-prone or typhoon regions
The design of NewFlag‘s residential flood gate fits the needs of residential properties in high-risk flood areas. It is well suited for countries with strong monsoon seasons, typhoon activity, or coastal surges, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and southern coastal regions of China.
How to Install Flood Gates for Homes
1. Site Preparation
Before installation, measure the doorway or entry point accurately. Clear the area of obstacles, debris, and ensure the surface is level for a secure fit.
2. Professional vs. DIY Installation
While some removable flood gates are designed for easy DIY setup, fixed or heavy-duty gates typically require professional installation to guarantee structural integrity and water tightness.
3. Sealing and Anchoring
Ensure all seals, gaskets, and anchor points are correctly positioned. Proper sealing prevents water from bypassing the gate, while secure anchoring keeps the gate stable under pressure.
4. Testing After Installation
Once installed, perform a water-tightness test if possible, or simulate flood conditions to ensure the gate functions correctly. Regular testing maintains reliability over time.
5. Maintenance Tips
Inspect hinges, seals, and fasteners periodically. Lubricate moving parts and replace worn components to maintain optimal performance, especially before flood seasons.
How to Choose Residential Flood Gates
Flood Height: Choose a gate rated for local flood levels. Standard gates suit minor floods, while heavy-duty or custom gates are needed for higher water levels.
Material: Steel or aluminum gates offer strength and durability, ideal for permanent use. Composite or PVC gates are lightweight and portable, perfect for temporary protection.
Installation Type: Fixed gates provide constant protection, while removable gates are easy to store and install during emergencies.
Durability and Maintenance: Look for corrosion-resistant, UV-protected gates. Regularly check seals, hinges, and fasteners to ensure reliable performance.
Certification: Ensure gates have recognized water-resistance certifications for proven flood protection.
