The Future of flood management
The Flood Resilient Home
Flood Recover 3RTM is a strategy to make homes more resilient to flood (& fire) with solutions, design standards, accredited installation and documentation control that allows property owners to obtain cost effective insurance coverage. Innovative products are available including a range of floodproof kitchens, Dragonboard (rather than plasterboard), sewer non-return valves, tanking and pumping solutions
Whilst this page focuses on home resiliency all of the solutions apply equally to business and industrial properties
Business premises are usually on a larger scale than residential and require a more holistic approach than that described for homes in this section.
Many business units are not designed to withstand flood waters and are structurally incapable of withstanding high-level flooding.
All properties should be examined to understand if “on-property” or “off-property” solutions are the most suitable.
These decisions are complex, and we have to revert to the 7-step process referred to elsewhere, which determines how we address the key issues of flood type, building construction, human issues, and budgets.

Passive Vertical Rising Barriers
Resting Position
In non-flood conditions, all operational parts of the barrier are concealed in the underground basin.
Deploying
When floodwater rises to within a predetermined level below flood level, the basin housing the floating wall starts to fill up through an inlet pipe from the adjacent service pit.
Fully Deployed
The flood wall floats and rises. When the basin is totally filled, the angled support block will lock the barrier into position making it watertight.

Piecemeal Approach
Avoid costly mistakes. John prioritises essential repairs, focusing on the core infrastructure of your property:
- Essential Living Areas: Kitchens, bathrooms, and sleeping quarters are prioritised for a safe and functional space.
- Long-Term Solutions: He will suggest you necessary repairs that ensure a flood-resistant future, maximising your investment.
Piecemeal – but with an overall plan
- If installing flood barriers, ensure they tie-in to internal wall protection solutions – don’t leave any gaps
- BEFORE installing floodproof kitchen carcasses ensure the wall behind them is not going to need replacing in the next flood – M02 boards – NOT Gypsum board
- Manage the boundaries between rooms for an easy pick-up on phase 2, 3, etc.
- Plan locations of sump pumps
- they may not be in the room you are renovating
