About Water Gate Systems

At Water Gate Systems, we are dedicated to providing unparalleled flood protection tailored for the discerning homeowner. Our core values of excellence, innovation, and community focus drive us to deliver solutions that not only safeguard your property but also enhance its beauty.

Our Story & Mission

Water Gate Systems was founded with one mission: to protect Southwest Florida’s most valuable properties from the devastating impact of flooding and storm surge.

Living and working in Fort Myers, we’ve seen firsthand how quickly hurricanes can turn lives upside down. Traditional defenses—sandbags, plywood, and makeshift barriers—are not enough to safeguard luxury estates. Our founders set out to engineer a premium flood protection solution that delivers performance, elegance, and peace of mind.

Today, that vision lives on in the Aqua-Cade™ system and our custom flood protection services, trusted by homeowners across Naples, Port Royal, and the greater SWFL region.

We saw the subsequent loss of life, homes, property and economic distress. Then we had Helene and Milton. We lived the sheer chaos and stress of “what happens next?”. Well, besides rebuilding our homes and lives, we saw beloved neighbors moving. Home values dropping. A group of us asked “how can we protect ourselves in the future?” What can we do to foster community resiliency?[/ultimate_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1733769339216{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;background-color: #EEEEEE !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″][ultimate_heading alignment=”left” el_class=”blueHeading max1000″]We started researching everything in the marketplace, consulted with engineers, subject matter experts, and have landed on the best solution to endure high wind scenarios and long-term system durability to thwart flood surges . We had to learn the softness, density and durability of rubber, the lateral force of hydrostatic pressure per square foot under multiple feet of seawater (it’s complicated) and the type of aluminum and stainless steel and made the initial barrier solution even better. We researched with Certified Flood Plain managers on the elements to create a surge scenario and how long they last ( also complicated). We examined everything from storage solutions to vanity covers and even labels for each barrier so years from now when you reassemble the system during hurricane season, you know exactly where it goes. Then we looked at what happens after the storm with solar generators so we can provide reliable protection and sustainability during and after a storm.[/ultimate_heading][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”236″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeIn” css=”” el_class=”roundedCorner”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1733771100480{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;background-color: #4990F8 !important;}”][vc_column][ultimate_heading el_class=”whiteTxt max1000″ main_heading_margin=”margin-bottom:35px;” sub_heading_margin=”margin-bottom:35px;”] Finally, we looked at how to create a great company with a great culture, focused on community resiliency with dedicated people whose primary focus beyond protection for your home is an outstanding customer experience.
