Ham Baker has launched Autodam, a simple yet effective passive flood defence system that automatically rises when water levels increase.
Quick and easy to install, requiring only shallow excavation, Autodam is designed both for homeowners and commercial use, also acting as a conventional surface water drain in normal weather conditions.

Activated solely by the pressure of water (or sewage/chemicals/other liquids), Autodam provides 24/7 reliability and peace of mind for property protection, says the company.

Ham Baker can supply Autodam for almost any installation, in a choice of stainless steel, GRP or recycled plastic. As standard it is flush-mounted for wheelchair access, whilst optional extras include visible and audio alarms, plus a choice of finishes to blend in with the home/business design.
