Professional Installation & Support

Expertly Installed. Backed with a 3-Year Warranty.

Why Professional Installation Matters

Even the strongest engineered flood barrier can only perform if it’s installed correctly.

Our trained technicians follow a meticulous, code-compliant process to ensure your Aqua-Cade™ system performs flawlessly when a storm arrives. Every installation is completed with precision craftsmanship and respect for your property’s architecture.

Safety is always our first priority. Installations and deployments must be completed before storm conditions arrive—never during high winds or heavy rain.

The Installation Process

We walk you through step-by-step deployment, labeling, and storage so you can confidently reinstall the system before a storm.

01
Site Assessment & Preparation

We inspect surfaces, drainage, and clearances, then mark anchor locations and prepare the foundation.

02
Anchors & Side Posts

Sleeve anchors are drilled and installed to manufacturer specs. Side posts are aligned, secured, and sealed with marine-grade caulk.

03
Panel Placement

Panels are clearly labeled (bottom, middle, top) for simple installation. Our team ensures a perfect fit in the track system.

04
Panel Installation

Base joints and seams are sealed with Marine 4000 caulk for watertight protection. All interfaces are checked for continuity.

05
Sealing & Waterproofing

The system is fully assembled and tested. We confirm panel alignment, locking mechanisms, and watertight seals.

06
Homeowner Training

We provide hands-on training so you and your staff can confidently deploy and remove the system before and after a storm.
