Customer Testimonials

I had the flood barrier system installed at my house by Water gate system . Right from the beginning, dealing with Water Gate Systems was a pleasure. The price was reasonable and the installation was done on time as promised. During the installation, they came over several times to inspect the work and that was a bonus .In addition, the installer, with whom I have worked with in the past , was meticulous with the installation. I would highly recommend working with this company as they will deliver what they promise.

My experience with Water Gate Systems was phenomenal!!!!!!! After our house flooded and required major repairs, I remember standing completely helpless and wondering why I couldnt stop 15 inches of flood waters from entering our home. It just seemed that there had to be a way to protect our home from another flood. After a little research it turned out that there are some flood prevention products on the market. In my estimate Water Gate Systems was hands down my best option. Installation went quickly and professionally and pricing was very fair. The quality of the materials is top notch and I can install my system in less than a few minutes. THANK YOU Flood Gate Systems.

I highly recommend getting a flood barrier system to protect your home. After having to rebuild my home (and live in an RV and hotel for nearly a year each time) due to flood surge damage from hurricanes. I selected Watergate's system. They were great to work with during the entire process- from our initial meeting to installation. The real test of the system will be when a hurricane strikes. I chose a 3' high system hoping to be protected from most storms. I have flood insurance on my home that will provide an additional critical layer of protection if flood surge exceeds 3' (Ian was 7' plus in my area). But now I can sleep at night knowing I am protected from flood waters if all works as it should- I encourage all homeowners to invest in protecting their homes from dangerous and expensive flood surge.

My experience with Water Gate Systems was very business like and very professional. We couldnt be more pleased with what we have received. The ease of execution for taking the system down and putting the system back in place couldnt have been easier for me. Thanks for your professionalism.

I chose Watergate Systems as it is a locally owned veteran company. They have strived to engineer their product to achieve a secure watertight system. If you are considering a system, Id suggest either an inside garage mount or that you have concrete footers poured to obtain an effective seal at the bottom. Instal dates moved a bit but once completed, the installers treated our home as if it was theirs.

I was very happy with the installation of the flood system from Water Gate. They were very helpful in initially configuring the system as well as stopping by during the install. The installers were excellent and meticulous putting the system in.
