Emerging Competitor Tests Flood Barrier Products in Indiana and Miami
What happened
A company founded by a Shore Acres resident, Dam It Defense, is testing custom flood barrier products in various locations. The founder developed the business after Hurricane Helene flooded his home, leading to the need for such solutions. The product utilizes aluminum materials and can be built up to 10 feet high, protecting properties from various threats. Testing has taken place in Indiana for hydrostatic pressure and at a client's house in Miami for effectiveness during rainfall.
