Built From Experience And Flood Frustration
After witnessing flood damage firsthand, we created a smarter, faster, effective solution for families like ours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our water-filled flood barriers use gravity and water weight to create an effective seal against rising floodwaters. Each barrier stands 36 inches high when filled and can be connected in 100-foot sections to protect any property perimeter. The barriers are filled on-site using standard water sources, creating a stable, leak-proof barrier that can withstand significant water pressure while remaining flexible enough to conform to uneven ground surfaces.
Most installations are completed within 24 hours depending on property size and number of barriers.
We specialize in flexible rental options to meet your specific needs without the storage and maintenance requirements of ownership. Our rental packages include delivery, professional installation, and removal services. For properties needing seasonal protection, we offer discounted long-term rental agreements. Purchase options are available for commercial clients requiring permanent inventory, but most Southwest Florida property owners find our rental service more cost-effective and convenient.
Black Water Barriers proudly serves all of Southwest Florida, including Naples, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Estero, Marco Island, Sanibel, and Captiva. Our local family business provides rapid emergency response throughout Lee and Collier Counties. We understand the unique flood risks of our coastal communities and maintain equipment strategically located for fast deployment when storm warnings are issued.
Yes, our professional-grade water-filled barriers are designed for multiple uses and can be quickly deployed, drained, and stored for future flood events. Unlike sandbags that become heavy, damaged, and unsanitary after use, our barriers simply drain clean and fold flat for compact storage. This reusability makes them an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution for properties that face recurring flood risks during Florida's hurricane seasons.
