Do’s and Don’ts - Wet & Dry Floodproofing Techniques

As we have seen throughout the United States over the past decade and just this past September from Hurricane Ida, flooding is becoming more frequent, more unpredictable, and more damaging. For a structure in the floodplain, there is no one size fits all solution, especially with a marketplace of dozens of manufacturers and hundreds of products. Join Tom Little of Floodproofing.com to discuss these innovations, how to ensure business continuity before, during, and after a flood, and how the Flood Design Team of Floodproofing.com is assisting over 3000 structures in the floodplain.

About Tom Little

Tom Little is the President of Smart Vent Products Inc, Floodproofing.com, Smart Product Innovations and Risk Reduction Plus Group. He is a Certified Floodplain Manager and Licensed Insurance Broker

Since 2004, Tom has studied the science of flood mitigation with a concentration on wet and dry floodproofing techniques, and their ability to not only protect structures against the devastating effects of floodwaters but also how these systems and approaches can reduce flood insurance costs for property owners. Taking this knowledge, Tom became a Certified Floodplain Manager and Licensed Insurance Broker to help him further lend his expertise. Today he is proud to lead a diverse team of 40 professionals that are passionate about creating more disaster-resilient communities.

The success of the Smart Vent product line helped the company see first-hand the opportunities and needs for more innovative products and services when dealing with flood disasters. Tom took this insight and was an integral part in creating Smart Product Innovations—an umbrella company that would oversee the founding of companies such as RRPG and Floodproofing.com. This collection of companies was strategically created to specialize in flood disasters, providing products and services to help with all aspects of flood mitigation and protection.

About the Companies:
Smart Vent Products Inc was established in 1997 and introduced the first-ever ICC-ES Certified line of Engineered Flood Vents. These patented vents have paved the way for other innovative flood vents and accessories, and provide more than 100 million sq ft. of flood protection across the world.

Risk Reduction Plus Group (Insurance Agency) was developed due to the demand from our customers to offer reasonable flood insurance. Using its F.R.E™ tool, RRPG is able to use their vast knowledge of flood resiliency and rating to provide real-life solutions that can help greatly lower flood premiums. We specialize in NFIP and Private Flood Insurance options in all 50 states.

Floodproofing.com is built upon the legacy and expertise gained from the development of Smart Vent Products, which has propelled the company into an industry leader. A team of Certified Floodplain Managers and Flood Mitigation Specialists provides the industry with a portfolio of innovative dry and wet floodproofing systems.
