The hydrostatic <br />pressure on entry doors and walls is too great to practically design for. Creating a <br />mini - flood wall can be incorporated into one or two steps at the entry level and <br />greatly reduce the frequency of flooding. <br /> <br />All properties where floodproofing measures are installed may also include a <br />sump pump. City regulations require sump pumps to discharge directly to the <br />owner's yard_ The pump will address interior drainage from groundwater seepage <br />and rainwater from the building side of the protection. Where building walls are <br />utilized to prevent water from entering the building, it is essential that the <br />integrity of the wall itself be evaluated and, if necessary, floodproofed. <br /> <br />2.
