When safeguarding your valuable possessions, you face threats not only from fire but also from water damage caused by floods, burst pipes, or hurricanes. That is why the Fireproof and Waterproof Safes collection from SentrySafe combines advanced fire protection with cutting-edge waterproof technology to ensure your cherished items stay secure and dry, even in water-related disasters.
Who Benefits from a Waterproof Safe?
Water damage knows no bounds. It can strike anyone, anywhere. Whether you live in a flood-prone region, a hurricane-prone area, or simply want to prepare for unexpected plumbing mishaps, a waterproof safe is a wise investment.
Homeowners, renters, business owners, and anyone intent on safeguarding valuable possessions and critical documents can find peace of mind in the protection offered by SentrySafes' waterproof technology.
Preparing for Fire Suppression
Beyond water-related disasters, it's crucial to consider water damage during fire suppression. Fire sprinklers can save your home or business when a fire breaks out, but when they trigger, the result can be a wave of water damage on top of the fire itself.
After a fire, many people don't realize how much water damage can result from the extensive use of a fire hose by firefighters or from an activated sprinkler system. SentrySafes' waterproof technology offers comprehensive protection against these unforeseen circumstances.
Closed-Cell Foam Waterproofing Technology
One of the key features that sets SentrySafes apart is the use of closed-cell foam gaskets for advanced waterproofing. This specialized material is both flexible and forms a robust seal when the safe's lid is securely closed.
What is Closed-Cell Foam?
Closed-cell foam is a type of foam where the cells are enclosed and packed tightly together. Unlike open-cell foam, which has pores that can absorb moisture, closed-cell foam is moisture-resistant.
How Does Closed-Cell Foam Enhance Waterproofing?
The closed-cell foam gaskets in SentrySafes are strategically placed to form an impenetrable barrier when the safe is closed. Water cannot seep in, offering a high level of protection against various forms of water damage: rain, snow, floods, and fire sprinkler systems.
When combined with other waterproofing technologies and high-quality materials, closed-cell foam gives SentrySafes an all-encompassing solution for safeguarding your valuables from water damage.
Water Submersion Testing
One of the most rigorous tests that SentrySafes undergoes to validate its waterproof capabilities is water submersion testing. This involves submerging the safes in water for an extended period to ensure they can withstand the harshest conditions.
Up to 72 Hours of Powerful Protection
SentrySafes' waterproof chests and files are designed to offer up to 72 hours of powerful protection from water intrusion. This is a significant advantage in emergency situations like floods or hurricanes where you may be unable to immediately access your safe. The extended protection ensures that important documents, electronics, and other valuables remain dry and intact, even when submerged in water for long periods.
Peace of Mind During Emergencies
Knowing that your safe has been rigorously tested for water submersion offers real peace of mind during emergencies. When you're stuck away from home due to a flood or hurricane, the last thing you want to worry about is the safety of your valuables. Water submersion testing lets you focus on more immediate concerns, like the safety of your family.
ETL Verified Water Resistance
SentrySafes partners with ETL, an independent testing firm, to verify their safes are exceptionally reliable and water-resistant. This additional layer of verification guarantees top-tier protection against flooding and water damage. SentrySafe products lead the industry in water protection, backed by third-party testing rather than manufacturer claims alone.
These safes undergo rigorous testing, enduring up to 12 inches of water intrusion for 72 hours, setting a new standard in extended water resistance. Even if you're away from home during a flood or hurricane, your most cherished items remain securely protected.
