Flooding can submerge electrical panels and damage mechanical equipment, leading to expensive repairs, downtime, and safety risks. That’s where our fully customized flood box comes in. Each flood box is designed to meet individual installation requirements and custom shaping for job-specific demands. It’s easy to install and remove, taking only a few minutes to set up.
Most flood protection products simply don’t cut it, especially when ventilation is a factor. Many standard designs overlook the need for airflow, which can be a big problem for certain equipment. At Flood Risk America, we can customize a flood box that allows air flow while keeping water out. When you need to protect valuable and potentially hazardous equipment, FRA’s flood box is a tough and reliable solution.
The FRA flood box is for equipment that cannot be moved or need protection and ventilation. Scientifically developed to withstand harsh saltwater environments, the technology for our flood box is used in aerospace and vessels from the United States Navy and Air Force.
Some of the most important equipment that our flood box can protect from damage include:

The gasket for our flood box is a closed cell sponge Neoprene/EPDM/SBR blend. This combines the best qualities of all three rubber elastomers, which creates an excellent gasket material used in many indoor and outdoor gasketing applications requiring a temperature of -40 °F to + 200 °F.
Neoprene/EPDM/SBR closed cell sponge is resistant to ozone, sunlight, and oxidation. Style AG141B is UL-94-HF-1 listed and passes the flammability specifications of FMVSS-302. It is also UL157, UL50, UL508, UL48 and UL50E listed and classified as “2A1” under ASTM D 1056-07.
With a superior gasketing system, the FRA flood box is designed for water treatment plants, chemical plants, and multiple-use facilities. Flooding doesn’t just threaten your mechanical equipment – it puts your entire property at risk. That’s why we go beyond just protecting individual systems; we can help completely flood proof your property and make it resilient to storms.
HVAC units, electrical switchgear, generators, boilers, and other critical infrastructure located in basements or ground-level mechanical rooms are particularly at risk.
Can flood protection solutions still allow for ventilation?
Yes! Some mechanical equipment requires airflow, and we offer specialized flood protection enclosures with ventilation to maintain proper function while keeping water out.
Can I make my entire building flood proof, not just my mechanical equipment?
Absolutely. We design comprehensive flood barrier systems that protect your entire property, making it resilient against rising water and extreme weather.
Are flood protection solutions permanent or removable?
Both options exist. Some businesses prefer permanent flood barriers, while others use deployable or modular systems that can be installed when needed.
How much does a flood box for mechanical equipment cost?
Costs vary based on the level of protection required, building size, and specific solutions used. A flood risk assessment helps determine the most cost-effective approach for your needs.
Does a flood box affect insurance premiums?
Many insurers offer lower premiums for properties with flood mitigation measures in place. Investing in flood protection can reduce long-term costs and liability.
