If you have already experienced flooding, we recommend that you purchase one that is at least 10\u201320 cm taller than the flood level you experienced, because the general consensus is that severe weather events\u2014in terms of both frequency and intensity\u2014are on the rise. The Basin Engineer has mapped out some areas with flood predictions, although these may not be entirely reliable. The Rapid team recommends not buying them any higher than a manhole cover or a floor drain; no higher than the shower drain, which is usually 5 cm from the floor; no higher than an outdoor electrical outlet, which is about 20 cm from the sidewalk; no higher than any natural gas vent in the kitchen, which is about 30 cm from the floor; no higher than the toilet and bidet, which usually have their tops 40 cm from the floor; no higher than the sink, which is usually between 80 and 100 cm from the floor; and no higher than the window sill, which is usually about 100 cm from the floor.

These barriers, typically made of aluminum, steel, or high-strength composite materials, are placed in front of building entrances\u2014such as doors and windows\u2014to create an effective seal against high water and heavy rain. Their main advantage lies in how quickly they can be deployed and removed: in an emergency, each one can be set up in just a few seconds, securing the interior of living or working spaces. This is where Rapid has always made a difference. Some devices take minutes to set up, but not Rapid\u2019s.

We can tell you right away that it costs much less than the damage caused by flooding. Not everyone knows that a 10-centimeter flood exerts 100 kg of pressure on the floor grout, causing water to penetrate the subfloor; when the floodwaters recede, the tiles act as a lid over the water, which will remain trapped in the subfloor for decades and will be slowly released into the air as moisture; this moisture, combining with the air, will create a very humid and persistent microclimate that can last for decades. Using a dehumidifier can capture excess moisture in the air, but it cannot dry out the moisture in the subfloor, and the cost to restore the original condition by tearing it all out can exceed 100 euros per square meter!<\/p>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n   <\/div>\r\n       <div class=\"rt-accordion-item\">\r\n        <h2 class=\"rt-accordion-header \" id=\"rtaccordion-arethereanydiscountsonthepurchase\" >\r\n            <button class=\"rt-accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#rtaccordion-collapse-arethereanydiscountsonthepurchase\" aria-expanded=\"true\">\r\n                <span class=\"rt-accordion-icon rt-accordion-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\r\n                                            <span class=\"rt-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\" icon-faktorie-right-arrow\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                        <span class=\"rt-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-arrow-up\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                                    <\/span>\r\n                <span class=\"rt-accordion-title rt-title-right\">Are there any DISCOUNTS on the purchase?<\/span>\r\n            <\/button>\r\n       <\/h2>       \r\n        <div id=\"rtaccordion-collapse-arethereanydiscountsonthepurchase\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"rtaccordion-arethereanydiscountsonthepurchase\" data-bs-parent=\"#rtaccordion-1\">\r\n            <div class=\"accordion-body\">\r\n              <p>For any information on possible tax breaks, please contact one of our partners for more details.

If the device is stored properly after use, the gaskets can last up to several decades. Rapid is the only manufacturer in the world to ship its most popular devices (the Click and Moderna lines) in a heavy-duty PVC fabric bag as outer packaging. By reusing this bag and placing the barrier or bulkhead inside it every time you store it, you keep the gaskets protected from light, thereby extending their lifespan. When they eventually need to be replaced, simply ask your Rapid Partner for the gasket by providing the serial number\u2014which only Rapid laser-engraves on all its devices. Every Rapid Partner has access to a video tutorial on how to replace them, which explains the method and the tricks of the trade. If, for various reasons, the Rapid Partner is unable to replace the gasket, subject to prior agreement, the end customer may pack the bulkhead or barrier, place it in the recovered packaging bag, and ship it for replacement. It should be noted that when the device is stored due to non-use, it must remain suspended in the air so that the gaskets are not compressed.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n   <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FAQ Answers to Frequently Asked Questions Do You Know How to Protect Yourself from Flooding?
