FlatSafe In-Garage Storm Shelter Setup in Ada

Ada Storm Shelter Installers FlatSafe storm shelters were designed to be set up in-garage and underground. With our patented lid system, these storm shelters sit flush to the ground and are usually installed under the parking space of a vehicle.

With our dedicated team of storm shelter installation specialists in Ada we’ve perfected the art of the installation. Our unique installation process guarantees we’ll be in and out as fast as possible.

Storm Shelter Installation

It is advised that the FlatSafe Storm Shelter is installed near the driveway, right in the garage door about a foot in the door. This will make it easier for Ada emergency response crews to access the shelter should you become trapped from construction collapse or fallen debris. Having the storm shelter installed near the exterior of the house will also restrict the amount of debris that emergency response crews will have to remove to get the lid of the storm shelter.

Storm Shelter Placement

The choice to install the shelter to the left or right side of the garage is at the discretion of the homeowner. There may be a preference based on the size of the garage, the number of vehicles parked in it, and availability to the shelter from the inside of the home.

Our installation contractors will arrive and discuss the placement of the storm shelter with you and establish the precise positioning of it before proceeding with installation.

Cutting The Concrete Slab

We use a wet saw to cut the concrete slab. The wet saw offers precision cuts and minimizes dust. As we are cutting the concrete slab we squeegee the garage to remove as much water and concrete sand as possible from the garage.

Excavation

Storm Shelter Installers Ada After the concrete slab is cut and removed, it is time to bring in the bucket. The bucket is used to remove the dirt from the setup area so that there’s an opening to lower the shelter into. Part of this FlatSafe installation procedure includes removing the dirt and hauling it away to a Ada disposal site so that the homeowner is not responsible for Disposing of the ground.

Installing The Storm Shelter

After the dirt is removed, the shelter is lowered into the hole and place with concrete. We install 3 different styles of in-garage underground storm shelters in Ada.

• High Density Polyethylene Storm Shelters

• Hot Dip Galvanized Storm Shelters

• Coal Tar Epoxy Storm Shelters

Our storm shelters are available for use immediately after the installation. Our storm shelter installation contractors will review all of the shelter features with the homeowner including lid opening/closing, winch operation, and basic safety tips. Our team will be available to answer any questions you (the homeowner) may have regarding the use and maintenance of the shelter while we’re there and long after installation takes place.

According to a National Storm Shelter Association (NSSA) Evaluator, Dr. James McDonald, a Professional Engineer, “The FlatSafe Storm Shelter layouts are well documented and well thought out”. Dr. McDonald also said, “The attention to detail is commendable”. Along with the conclusions of a NSSA evaluator, Larry Tanner, a Professional Engineer and Research Associate at Texas Tech University, said; “The Wind Engineering Research Center at Texas Tech University applauds your company’s efforts in providing a safe product for the consumer”.

All of our Ada Storm Shelters Are Equipped With Our Single Piece Lid System.

All of our underground FlatSafe Storm Shelters that we install and sell in Ada come with our patented single piece lid system. The lid is 1/4″ thick steel plate with additional structural tubing to give extra strength. The single-piece lid is larger than the frame of the saferoom opening and sits above the frame, not down within the frame. Our lid system is MUCH stronger than the typical 2-piece lid system provided by everyone else and provides more than adequate ventilation to the occupants. We also specialize in tornado shelter installation.
