Inflatable water barrier helps save Rigaud home
Description
May 31, 2019
In 2017, Rigaud flood waters caused about $150,000 in damage to Robert Bergeron's home. Bergeron invested $43,000 in an inflatable flood barrier that kept his home almost completely dry, while houses around his were flooded. As Global's Dan Spector explains, this type of technology could save more homes in the future.
