Flood Risk America

What Flood Risk America does

Flood Risk America (FRA) is a privately held U.S. manufacturer and installer of custom-engineered flood protection systems, headquartered in Lake Worth, Florida, and founded by Stephen Gill following his service on the Hurricane Katrina Recovery Team. The company designs, engineers, fabricates, and installs flood barriers built around proprietary CCN Seal Technology and marine-grade aluminum materials, with panels weighing under five pounds per square foot and deployable in under one hour without heavy equipment. Its product portfolio spans FRA Flood Panels, elevator, door, window, parking garage, underground, and floor drain protection; passive and swing-hinged flood gates; permanent flood doors; and a range of covers, water-filled barriers, and fabric barriers — all custom-fabricated to property-specific dimensions and backed by a lifetime warranty on panels.

FRA serves enterprise and institutional customers including hotel chains (Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, JW Marriott), hospitals (Tampa General, Shriners Children's, Nemours/HCA), banks (TD Bank), logistics operators (FedEx), QSR chains (McDonald's), universities (Tulane), commercial real estate (Mary Brickell Village, Paraiso Bay), and municipal governments (City of St. Petersburg). The firm also addresses residential, condo, and K–12 customers, claiming 3,450+ completed projects and over $1.5 billion in cumulative flood damages prevented.

Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time product sales, professional installation services, 24/7 storm deployment services, and recurring maintenance contracts, with pricing determined via custom site assessments rather than standardized rates. FRA sells exclusively direct via website quote requests, phone, and field sales, and uses its own in-house installation teams nationwide. The firm holds three U.S. patents on its flood panel technology, maintains FM Approval, FEMA, NFIP, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers compliance, and has begun to expand internationally with completed projects in New South Wales, Australia.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered flagship and core.

• City of St. PetersburgflagshipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 24 February 2026The City of St. Petersburg completed a $1 million flood protection upgrade at its Northeast Water Reclamation Facility in partnership with Flood Risk America. The project installed 100 flood panels from FRA across 11 buildings, protecting critical municipal wastewater infrastructure. The project was accelerated after the facility was taken offline during Hurricanes Helene and Milton, prompting the city to harden its wastewater infrastructure against future storm surge events.
• Flood Response AssistancecoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerFlood Response Assistance provides the end-to-end flood prevention services that complement Flood Risk America's products. While FRA delivers professionally engineered flood protection products, Flood Response Assistance provides services including 24/7 deployment services, flood response planning, flood vulnerability assessments, and ongoing maintenance and support. Together they create complete flood protection for customers.
