Features

  • Flood-Guard operates like a check valve to seal-off water back-up caused by overloaded sewers.
  • Installs in minutes.
  • Standpipe models available for use in extreme, extended pressure situations.
  • Gaskets for our basement flood prevention device are made of molded rubber.
  • All metal parts are plated or stainless steel.
  • Float models available in 2”, 3”, and 4” sizes.
  • Standpipe models available in 3” and 4” sizes.

The Flood-Guard™ can be installed in minutes. A screwdriver is all that you need. Once in place, it can prevent property damage and a very messy clean-up job. Float models are available in 2”, 3”, and 4” sizes.

For extreme, extended pressure (for instance, where homemade seals have popped out of the line,) we recommend our Flood-Guard standpipe models. Standpipe models are available in 3” and 4” sizes. The 4″ Standpipe Flood-Guard is threaded to receive 1-1/2″ IPS pipe. On the 3″ model, the pipe is slipped through the rubber gasket before the screws are fully tightened.

Gaskets are made of molded rubber, and all metal parts are plated or stainless steel.

My dad always used it. And I swear by it!

General Wire Spring founder Abe Silverman first coiled spring wire tightly around a wire rope core in the 1940s. Since then, generations of plumbing and drain cleaning professionals swear by the “Flexicore advantage” – matchless cable strength, kinking resistance, and flexibility.
