Flood Control America

OVERVIEW

Flood Control America is a U.S.-based flood protection company that specializes in engineered removable flood barrier systems. Founded in 1997, the company pioneered demountable flood walls in the United States — offering modern alternatives to traditional sandbagging and permanent levees for commercial, municipal, and civil infrastructure flood mitigation.

Flood Control America’s core product, the Invisible Flood Control Wall™ (IFCW™), is a removable perimeter flood barrier designed to be installed ahead of flood events and easily removed afterward, preserving site aesthetics and accessibility when not in use. Their products are made entirely in the USA and are engineered to meet industry standards including criteria used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

WHY CHOOSE FLOOD CONTROL AMERICA

When protecting property and infrastructure from rising water, Flood Control America stands out for its:

Industry Leadership & History
With more than 25 years of continuous operation, FCA helped transition the flood protection industry from manual sandbagging to engineered removable systems.

American-Made Quality
All components and materials are 100 % manufactured in the United States, reducing supply chain risk and supporting domestic jobs.

Custom Engineered Barriers
Each system is tailored to the site’s specific needs and building openings, providing a secure, watertight defense.

Ease of Deployment
IFCW™ can be assembled quickly by a small crew, offering rapid preparation for flood events without heavy machinery.

Regulatory & Professional Acceptance
Their systems have been evaluated and accepted for use by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and align with FEMA and NFIP requirements, ensuring code compliance and engineering legitimacy.

Flood Barrier Systems

Flood Control America’s flagship solution is the Invisible Flood Control Wall™ (IFCW™) — a removable perimeter flood barrier system engineered for:

• Protection against river flooding and storm surge

• Custom sizing for specific openings and landscape features

• Integration with existing site architecture and infrastructure

• Durable performance in repeated use scenarios

The IFCW™ uses interlocking aluminum planks with rubber gasket seals, supported by galvanized steel posts embedded in a concrete base. It can be installed ahead of flood events and then disassembled and stored when the threat passes.

Commercial & Institutional Flood Protection

FCA focuses primarily on larger-scale projects rather than individual residential solutions, offering flood protection for:

• Municipal buildings and civic infrastructure

• Airports and transportation hubs

• Educational campuses and universities

• Stadiums and cultural institutions

• Riverfront districts and public spaces

• Commercial developments and mixed-use properties

The systems are designed to protect high-value assets, reduce downtime, and minimize flood damage costs associated with business interruptions and infrastructure failures.

Custom Engineered Solutions

Flood Control America assesses each site to:

• Evaluate flood risk and vulnerable openings

• Determine optimal barrier size and deployment strategy

• Customize barrier design to meet performance and aesthetic needs

Their tailored approach helps ensure each system integrates seamlessly with a property’s architecture, providing effective defense without obstructing views or creating permanent visual barriers.

Deployment & Maintenance

Their removable systems are engineered not only for strength but for usability:

• Rapid installation: A crew of three can erect large barrier systems (e.g., 1,200 sq ft) in short timeframes.

• Easy removal & storage: After flood risk subsides, systems disassemble and store with minimal footprint.

• Low maintenance: Unlike earthen levees or sandbags, the IFCW™ requires little upkeep and avoids many environmental liabilities.
