Frequently asked questions
Why choose aluminum flood barriers over sandbags?
Aluminum plank systems are reusable across storm seasons. Sandbags require repeat fill, haul, and disposal — especially costly for garage openings in Southwest Florida.
Do aluminum barriers eliminate sandbags entirely?
Primary measured openings usually replace sandbag labor. Secondary openings may still use temporary measures until assessment prioritizes the full plan.
