Hello. My name is Kurt Kehlenbeck. My wife Thairys and I are homeowners in Cape Coral. Like many in Southwest Florida, our lives were dramatically altered by Hurricane Ian in September 2022. Our home in the Yacht Club neighborhood suffered 12 inches of interior flooding. After completing the restoration, we became determined to find a way to ensure it never happened again.
Through careful analysis and hands-on work, we designed and built custom flood barriers to protect our home—and give us peace of mind. In 2024, those barriers were put to the test during both Hurricanes Helene and Milton. They successfully prevented flooding in our garage, and had the water risen to Ian levels or higher, I am confident the rest of the house would have been protected as well.
Since then, we have continued refining the design and recently completed a successful installation for my first customer in St. James City. While our original barriers were effective, they require significant time to deploy and rely on tape and sealants. The latest version, however, features a proprietary system using custom 3D-printed hardware that applies pressure on both sides of the barrier. This creates a watertight seal and keeps the barriers firmly in place—even in high winds. We are currently developing a method for an upcoming project that utilizes waterproof cloth because solid barriers in each doorway is not practical for the home in need of protection.
Our barriers are:
But we are not just offering a product—we are offering a comprehensive flood protection service. We will thoroughly examine your home and help you understand and identify potential water intrusion paths like holes in your walls for plumbing utility lines and sewer, so these paths can be eliminated — something retailers of commercial barriers often ignore while drilling holes in your home for bulky, unsightly barriers and anchors.
Call today for a free evaluation. We will provide everything you need to face hurricane season with confidence—knowing that your home and everything in it will stay dry and protected. You don’t need to tear down or lift a perfectly good house to prevent storm surge flooding. You just need to understand how water enters your home and be ready when the time comes to confidently keep it out.
