Building Flood Protection

Besides the main access points water can access buildings through many different points both above and below ground level.

At M3 Floodtec we have tested solutions that cover all elements of a building construction that could provide a route for flood water to get inside a property either from below ground pipework or through the fabric of the building.

See our range of passive and deployable flood protection that can be tailored to your exact needs.
