FloodVault Valuables opened on a walkway with a banker's box being loaded inside.
FloodVault Valuables · The No-Wheels Vault

The vault foreverything you can carry.

Documents. Art. Vinyl. Instruments. Jewelry. Hard drives. The FloodVault Valuables is a compact, sealed-base waterproof envelope for the personal collection that doesn't fit in a safe and can't ride out a flood on a shelf.

§ 01 / What It Is

TIZIP® MasterSeal

Marine-grade continuous zipper — the same closure used in professional drysuits.

Sealed-base envelope

Continuous waterproof floor pan. No perimeter, no gap for water to find.

10-minute deployment

One person. No tools, no power, no hardware. Deployed in the last window before a storm.

Reusable across events

Fold flat, store on a shelf, deploy again for the next watch.

§ 02 / How It Deploys

Fifteen steps. One sealed envelope.

A working walk-through of a real FloodVault Valuables deployment — from folded package to closed, sealed vault ready for standing water.

  1. FloodVault Valuables package delivered, still folded and ready to deploy.
    STEP 01 / 15

    It arrives folded.

    FloodVault Valuables ships flat in a compact package. No hardware, no power tools, no professional installation.

  2. Unrolling the blue FloodVault Valuables envelope on a walkway.
    STEP 02 / 15

    Unroll on any flat surface.

    Driveway, garage floor, patio, or lawn. The heavy-duty PVC lays flat and holds its shape while you pack.

  3. FloodVault Valuables opened, exposing the interior.
    STEP 03 / 15

    Open the TIZIP® MasterSeal.

    The same watertight zipper used in professional drysuits runs the full length of the vault. Open it wide to load.

  4. Boxes and valuables staged next to the open FloodVault Valuables.
    STEP 04 / 15

    Stage what you're saving.

    Documents, records, art, jewelry, electronics, small tools — anything that would be lost if the water came up.

  5. Labeling storage boxes before packing them into the vault.
    STEP 05 / 15

    Label the boxes.

    A five-minute step that saves an hour on the other side of the storm. Photograph everything before it goes in.

  6. Loading a large framed piece into the FloodVault Valuables.
    STEP 06 / 15

    Load the largest items first.

    Framed art, banker's boxes, and rigid cases go against the base. The vault's floor pan is the same waterproof pane as the walls — one continuous seal.

  7. Nesting soft items between rigid boxes inside the vault.
    STEP 07 / 15

    Nest the softer items.

    Photo albums, vinyl records, textiles and instruments settle between the rigid pieces. The envelope shapes to the load.

  8. Packing small valuables into the center of the vault.
    STEP 08 / 15

    Tuck the small, priceless things.

    Jewelry, hard drives, passports, deeds. The things you would go back for. They ride in the middle where the load is deepest.

  9. Making room around the TIZIP track before closing.
    STEP 09 / 15

    Keep the perimeter clear.

    Leave a clean margin around the zipper track so nothing fouls the seal. That margin is what makes the closure watertight.

  10. Final banker's box being placed inside FloodVault Valuables.
    STEP 10 / 15

    Finish the load.

    Stack the last boxes squarely. A well-packed Valuables closes cleanly the first time.

  11. Folding the top of the FloodVault Valuables over the load.
    STEP 11 / 15

    Fold the top in.

    Bring the two sides of the envelope over the load and align the zipper halves along their track.

  12. Closing the TIZIP zipper across the top of the vault.
    STEP 12 / 15

    Walk the zipper closed.

    The TIZIP MasterSeal is a marine-grade continuous zipper — slow, deliberate, and completely watertight when fully engaged.

  13. Seating the zipper closure at the end of the track.
    STEP 13 / 15

    Seat the closure.

    Run the zipper all the way to the stop. Press the closure flat. This is the moment the vault becomes a vault.

  14. Confirming the TIZIP seal is fully engaged.
    STEP 14 / 15

    Confirm the seal.

    One pass with your hand along the closure to check for a fouled tooth or a stray strap. Thirty seconds of care.

  15. Closed, sealed FloodVault Valuables ready for the storm.
    STEP 15 / 15

    Walk away.

    That's it. Your valuables are inside a sealed, waterproof envelope built for standing water, rain, wind-driven debris and the mess that follows a flood.

Intended Use — Read This First

A flood vault, not a storage cover.

FloodVault is event protection. It is built to be deployed when water is the threat — a named-storm watch, a flash-flood warning, a river crest, a hurricane evacuation — and opened again once the threat has passed. It is not designed, sold, or warranted as a season-long or indefinite storage cover.

The reason is physics, not a defect. Any sealed, waterproof envelope holds whatever humidity is inside it when you close it. Left sealed for weeks or months — especially outdoors, in sun, with day-to-night temperature swings — that trapped moisture condenses on cool surfaces. On a collection that can mean mildew on upholstery, musty carpet, surface corrosion on bare metal, and mold. We would rather tell you that plainly before you buy than have you discover it after a season.

Do

  • • Load the collection clean and completely dry — no wet tires, no damp interior.
  • • Deploy inside the watch/warning window, ideally 24–48 hours ahead.
  • • Add a desiccant pack inside the envelope for multi-day deployments.
  • • Unseal, open, and air everything out once the water risk is over.
  • • Rinse, dry fully, and fold the vault away indoors between events.

Don't

  • • Don't use FloodVault as a winter, seasonal, or indefinite storage cover.
  • • Don't seal a wet, freshly washed, or dirty collection inside it.
  • • Don't leave a vault sealed outdoors in direct sun for extended periods.
  • • Don't treat it as a substitute for a climate-controlled storage space.
  • • Don't fold and store the vault damp.

Moisture damage that results from long-term sealed storage is a use condition, not a product defect, and is not covered under the FloodVault warranty. If you need months of protection rather than days, keep the vault for the event window and use a breathable indoor cover the rest of the time.

Storm-Season Ready

Have the vault before you need the vault.

FloodVault Valuables ships flat and stores on a shelf. When the watch goes up, it deploys in ten minutes — so the paperwork, the records, the jewelry, and the irreplaceable pieces of a household are already sealed before the water gets close.
