Aluminium Flood Barrier Saves Home from Flood Waters

The forward thinking of these NSW residents has saved their home from the 2021/2022 floods.

Four sets of aluminium Demountable Flood Barriers were made-to-order to accommodate the requirements of their river side home. They were designed to protect their back sliding door, back door, garage door and front door.

The side frames are permanently installed either side of the entrances. With the imminent threat of rising flood waters, 100mm high single piece aluminium boards are placed into the permanent frames, stacked together to create a seal, protecting the property from flooding.

These FloodFree Barriers are manufactured in Australia, to international quality standards by industry leader AWMA Water Control Solutions.

Chee, the riverside resident, states, “Flood water has threatened our property numerous times. Over the past few years, we have been working to flood-proof our home. This has required several projects.

Firstly, our builder sealed the house three times, from the foundations up to the highest anticipated flood height, which for us, was 1.2m high.

Secondly, a new draining system was installed, allowing us to stay in the home and have functional water and sewerage systems.

Lastly, we purchased demountable flood barriers that are installed across all access points around the house.

Without the flood barriers, our home would have been completely inundated, but if we hadn’t had the house sealed and plumbing modified, the water still would have caused extensive damage.

It is important that all of these things are considered when flood-proofing your home.”
