On June 12, 2024, a summer storm put this canal home under water, front and back. The owner filmed both ends of the house that day. Today, every opening that took water has a Water Defense barrier, deployed by the owner in minutes.

June 12, 2024: the front

The driveway and the front door at 3:15 pm. The water covered the front yard and reached the door of the house.

June 12, 2024: the back

The back patio, on the canal, at 5:06 pm, in the middle of the storm. The French doors were the second way in for the water.

The house today

The front door now has a made-to-measure barrier: numbered panels, permanent side channels and the patent-pending top clamp. Nothing else stays on the facade.

Flood barrier across the backyard French doors of the canal home

The back French doors, protected with the same system. One estimate covered every opening of the house.

The result

  • Both openings that flooded are now sealed in under five minutes, by the owner alone.
  • Only the slim side channels stay on the frames; the panels store inside the house.
  • One site visit measured the whole house: front door and back French doors.
