What Is Dry Floodproofing?

Print VersionBookmarkEmail this page to a friend.
Dry flood proofing prevents floodwaters from entering the building. This can be achieved by installing new brick veneer over asphalt coating or by applying polyethylene film over existing walls. Construct non-supporting, break-a-way walls designed to collapse under the force of water without causing damage to the house or its foundation.
