Introducing RAFT: Bioretention Made Simple RAFT intercepts stormwater runoff in urban environments where space is limited, and retrofits are difficult. We’ve made urban raingardens quick and easy to install by simplifying the structure holding it. InfraSGA is developing green infrastructure that is attainable by all and feasible for wide market adoption. The challenge is creating a product suitable for a range of site conditions, without need for specialty contractors, and cost-effective for wide adoption. Our debut product RAFT makes green stormwater infrastructure effective within tough urban environments like streetscapes, plazas, and parking lots. Designed to be installed by a small crew of three, the system is perfect for rapid deployment by a public works department using basic construction knowledge. RAFT provides our cities and towns more opportunities to try green stormwater solutions that reduce deadly floods and protect our natural waterway resources.

Home Mechanix, LLC has a Class B contractors license. We know FEMA mitigation codes and have successfully mitigated over 500 homes in Hampton Roads. We understand the diagrams of structures and the approach required to make properties compliant with the NFIP.

We have implemented several processes that make the mitigation paperwork headache much easier. One of which is a report that we provide for our customers called the Flood Mitigation Compliance Report. Our FMCR has all mitigation notes required by FEMA & the underwriters and gathers & displays all work performed by HMMX between the homeowner, the surveyor, the insurance company involved & with the underwriters, helping make the certification of the structure compliant. This has proven to be a tremendous help for all involved. Also Home Mechanix was a semi-finalist with RISE in 2018, 1 of 7 out 52, chosen for a patent pending idea that Home Mechanix presented for flood mitigation. We have currently filed 5 patent-pending devices that are directed toward flood mitigation, one of which our latest, we will be publicly displaying soon as game changer, market disrupter, for crawl spaces that flood regularly….stay tuned.
