Testing - It works!

FLOODWALLS have been thoroughly tested

It was important to make sure the FLOODWALLS worked.  Finding a property about to flood or damning a river to flood a house was not possible, so we built an inside out house. Instead of stopping water getting in, the house was designed as a tank with the flood doors and air brick covers preventing water getting out.

FLOODWALL'S test house (tank) was then filled with water and a wave machine installed.  This was left for several weeks (longer than most floods), during this time no water was found to escape!  This exceeds the requirements for a British Standard Kitemark® which allows other systems to leak 1 litre per meter per hour.

FLOODWALL didn't leak when tested!
