Airbrick Covers

Airbricks and wall vents are essential for any modern building – without
them, homes, offices, shops and commercial premises could not breathe
and would build up condensation.

But as well as allowing air to circulate, airbricks and vents allow water quickly to penetrate during a flood. They need watertight covers just as much as doors and French windows need Floodguards.

Floodguards manufactures airbrick and vent covers in four standard sizes,
to fit most regular-shaped openings:

• Single brick: 245mm x 115mm
• Double brick: 245mm x 245mm
• Triple brick: 390mm x 245mm
• Circular: 105mm diameter

All covers are white – to remind you to remove them after the danger is past – and are clipped to custom-fitted backframes that have been sealed to the wall. Like Floodguards, the greater the water pressure, the tighter the seal. After use, simply wash the covers and put them away.

Backframes can be ordered in grey, brown, brick red and white but we can also produce almost any custom colour to ensure that your frames blend into your walls. We can also custom-make backframes and covers to deal with any unusually-shaped airbricks or vents.

Floodalert

Floodguards technology is the best possible investment a householder or company can make in preventing the devastating effects of a flood – but someone has to be available to put Floodguards or a Rapidam in place.

If you are away, you need an alarm that notifies keyholders of a potential flood on the way. And if you are there but asleep, you need to be woken up – which is why you need Floodguards’ Floodalert.

Like all good ideas, Floodalert is based on a simple concept: a burglar alarm for water.

A sensor pod is put up at a point where you know flood water reaches before it threatens your property – possibly a garden wall or the side of an outbuilding. Immediately water hits the pod’s sensor, an electronic alert is sent to a control box inside your building.

The control box sets off an audible alarm and starts dialling four telephone numbers in turn with a recorded flood warning message – and keeps dialling
until it gets a positive response that help is on the way.

Your designated numbers can be for anyone, from a next-door neighbour to a registered keyholder or security company. They then turn up and put your Floodguards or Rapidam in place.

In common with all Floodguards products, Floodalert is uncomplicated
and effective.
It’s also the only one that is specifically designed not to allow you to sleep at night if a flood is imminent.

Additional Products

Sump and Pump

Even in the best-defended areas, water can seep, literally, through waterlogged ground, or weep through what appears to be a watertight wall if left for some time.

To prevent rising water becoming a problem, install Floodguards’ Sump & Pump. It works in the same way as a boat’s bilge pump. The sump is a small, lined, covered shaft at the lowest point in the ground behind your Floodguards protection.

If water seeps though, it will make for the sump and start to fill the shaft. Take the lid off, insert the pump, connect a hose that leads over your flood defences, and pump the water out. Inside, you remain flood-free.

To find out if your home, office or commercial premises need Floodguards’ Sump & Pump, please request a flood assessment.
