When floodwaters threaten, there’s no time to waste. That’s why communities across Louisiana—including New Orleans—are relying on the power of Tiger Dams to hold the line against rising water. But you don’t have to be a city agency or a hotel chain to benefit. With the Tiger Dam Home Door Kit, homeowners now have access to the same trusted technology used around the world.
Made in Louisiana. Proven Everywhere.
Developed and manufactured locally in Kenner, Louisiana, Tiger Dams are an inflatable flood barrier system that can be deployed in hours—not days. Once filled with water, the dam becomes a watertight shield that adapts to any surface—whether it’s sand, grass, concrete, or brick.
“It’s a poly-nylon blend that’s both robust and flexible,” says Dave Elvir, Vice President at U.S. Flood Control. “The weight of the water actually seals it to the ground, preventing seepage even on uneven terrain.”
That versatility is why Tiger Dams are used across Louisiana—from Grand Isle to Mandeville, and by major institutions like the New Orleans Sewerage and Water Board and several downtown hotels.
The Same Technology—Now for Your Front Door
Whether you’re worried about storm surge, rising rivers, or intense rainfall, the Tiger Dam Home Door Kit is a simple yet powerful solution to keep water out of your home. Each kit is compact, reusable, and quick to deploy—perfect for protecting vulnerable entry points during hurricane season.
And with the 2025 hurricane forecast predicting above-average activity, now is the time to act.
Hurricane Season Prep Tips: Protect Your Home Before the Storm
Being ready means more than just boarding up windows. Here are some essential steps to prepare:
1. Install a Tiger Dam Home Door Kit
Flooding often begins at the lowest points—like doors and thresholds. Our home kits are specifically designed to create a watertight seal around doorways in minutes.
2. Know Your Flood Risk
Even if you’re outside a designated flood zone, localized street flooding and storm surge can still cause damage. Don’t rely solely on flood maps—assess your elevation and local drainage.
3. Secure Important Documents and Valuables
Keep critical items in waterproof containers or store them on higher floors.
4. Test and Maintain Your Barriers
Make sure your Tiger Dam Home Door Kit is ready to go. Practice setting it up before you actually need it.
5. Build a Hurricane Supply Kit
Stock essentials: water, non-perishable food, batteries, medications, and a first-aid kit.
For over 25 years, Tiger Dams have protected infrastructure, businesses, and communities—saving billions in damages. Now, with our Home Door Kit, you can bring that same level of protection to your front doorstep.
Don’t wait until a storm is on the radar. Prepare today with Tiger Dams—and face hurricane season with confidence.
