For years, residents of the Village of Lindenhurst in Long Island, N.Y., have suffered with serious recurring flooding issues. During storms, flooding could reach several feet in such a short time that residents found themselves suddenly trapped, unable to drive safely, with school buses unable to pick up children. Even more concerning, emergency vehicles were unable to reach people in need of help.
A group of residents explored legal action as flooding had become disruptive and dangerous over the past few years. The Village of Lindenhurst needed a cost-effective solution before the multitude of problems caused by recurring storm flooding became worse.
A Simple, Cost-Effective Solution
After a thorough review of options with engineering consultants, local officials selected CheckMate® UltraFlex® In-Line Check Valves, manufactured by Red Valve Company, to help prevent the backflow problems causing flooding. The patented CheckMate UltraFlex valves restrict water from flowing back into the streets, effectively eliminating backflow while also helping to protect area wetlands and beaches.
Fast, Easy Installation
Installation of the CheckMate UltraFlex In-Line Check Valves was easy, since no adjustments to the structure or pipe were necessary. The valves run on differential pressure, so no outside energy source is needed.
