One of the challenges with having flood panels that cover most of the entryway when deployed is that people can’t easily leave or enter the building, which isn’t always feasible when operations need to continue. Our Flood Door solves this problem by combining strong, certified flood protection with a built-in emergency escape, so people can stay safe while the business keeps running.
Our Flood Door is engineered to solve both challenges by integrating an emergency escape door directly into the flood panel. This design allows flood panels to be deployed, keeping floodwaters out while still providing a secure and reliable exit route when it’s needed.
The Flood Door is installed directly within the flood panel, combining protection and safety in one integrated system. The emergency escape door gives occupants a dependable exit route even in the middle of a flood event when panels are already deployed.

Flooding can turn a building’s weakest points into its greatest risks. Traditional doors are often the first to fail, yet they remain critical for safe evacuation. At Flood Risk America, we understand that true safety means more than keeping water out. It’s also about protecting the people who rely on the building to stay open, including essential services like hospitals, medical centers, industrial buildings, and commercial properties. With decades of experience behind us, we deliver solutions you can trust to protect your property and the people inside.
What is a Flood Door?
A Flood Door is an emergency exit trap door built directly into a flood panel. It provides flood protection while maintaining a safe escape route for building occupants.
How does it work?
The door integrates seamlessly into the flood panel, sealing out rising water while still allowing emergency escape when needed.
Can people still enter and exit the building when the flood panel is deployed?
Yes. When the FRA panels are deployed, the Flood Door allows safe entry and exit – ideal for buildings that need to remain operational.
Where can a Flood Door be installed?
It can be installed into the FRA flood panel. Contact us for more information if you have existing custom flood panels from FRA.
Is it watertight?
Yes. The door and flood panel are made from reinforced, watertight materials designed to resist hydrostatic pressure and severe flood conditions.
Does it require electricity or tools to operate?
No. The Flood Door is operated manually within the flood panel and does not require power or tools for emergency use.
How durable is the Flood Door?
It’s built from high-quality, American-made materials, rigorously tested and certified for repeated use in flood events.
Can it be customized for my building?
Absolutely. Every Flood Door is engineered to fit the panels that are customized for your building.
