Saint Pete Local
Fabricated Locally in Response to Hurricane Helene
When Hurricane Helene hit in 2024, it left a trail of devastation, including severe flood damage that threatened to displace families across our beloved Saint Petersburg, FL. For us, leaving our vibrant community and the paradise we call home simply wasn't an option. That is why a group of local entrepreneurs, driven by a shared commitment to our community, banded together to find a real solution—not just for our families, but for everyone.
We quickly realized that existing flood defense options fell short:
- Relocation was unthinkable due to deep roots in schools, our local economy, and personal connections.
- Raising homes meant 6-12 months of displacement and an undesirable aesthetic change.
- "Dam Easy" proved insufficient at only 28 inches in height; many locals experienced system failures due to its limited height, and reported that the product rusted and its internal mechanisms were damaged after just one use, rendering it useless for future protection.
- "Garrison" and "Hydrodam" were not only extremely expensive but also offered thin aluminum, limited height, and basic sealing systems.
Our Solution: Superior Flood Protection, Locally Made
Dam It Defense was born out of necessity. We engineered a superior flood prevention system, right here in Saint Petersburg, FL, to offer unmatched protection and peace of mind.
Our systems feature:
- Reinforced Aluminum Alloy: 2.5 times thicker than competing products, built to last and withstand intense pressure.
- Unrivaled Height: Capable of holding back water up to 118 inches—2 to 3 times the height of other solutions.
- Proprietary Multi-Stage Water Sealing System: Our innovative, age-resistant rubber alternative expands to fill cracks in pavers or stamped concrete, enhancing water resistance as floodwaters rise.
Best of all, every Dam It Defense flood prevention system is fabricated locally by our skilled team right here in Saint Petersburg, FL, and installed by our own community employees.
