We restore water damage in Hawaii and Maui 24 hours a day.

Aloha! Our teams in Hawaii and Maui have been restoring water and flooding damage for commercial businesses in Kailua-Kona for over twenty years. The Insurance Institute of Business and Home Safety (IBHS) suggests utilizing the following floodproofing techniques to keep your building watertight and prevent water intrusion issues:

If your building is in or near a flood-prone area, consider utilizing these dry floodproofing techniques to make your building watertight and prevent floodwaters from entering.

• Keep a supply of flood-protective materials/products on hand to help divert water away from the building such as water-absorbent barriers or sandbags, or plastic sheeting/tarps for relatively shallow flooding.
• Install watertight shields over all doors and windows at least 3 feet above the BFE or the 500-year flood level, if known. The type of barrier used will depend on the size and type of opening.
• For temporary protection of large sections of a building such as large commercial doors or entranceways that may be exposed to deeper flood waters, water-filled barriers can be interconnected and stacked to divert water away from openings.
• Install moveable flood gates, permanent swing flood doors, or submarine doors (the latter two options provide permanent flood protection for deeper water) if feasible.
• For repetitive deep and prolonged flooding, permanent flood walls that surround the property may be considered.
