It would be flooded before the worst part of the storm even made landfall. The water table is simply too high, and in the event of a hurricane, a basement won’t do you much good.
Many of our clients are in Florida, where basements aren’t possible for the majority of homes. This is most common in tornado-prone areas like the middle of the country, but isn’t suitable everywhere. Some people put them in their basements so they can double as a natural disaster hiding place. These rooms are often impenetrable, hidden, and frankly, depressing. The terms “safe room” and “panic room” are often used interchangeably to describe a room that people go to when an intruder is in the house. Here’s why we don’t recommend safe rooms to our clients, and what our preferred solution is instead. There are so many things you could have done with that depressing, windowless space than make a panic room out of it. The issue we take with safe rooms or panic rooms is that - among other things - they’re a waste of valuable space.
Many of them have used their designated safe place during actual emergencies. Plenty of our clients legitimately need a safe place where they can go in the event of an emergency. We’re not passing judgment on your security situation - especially when we don’t know all the details yet. The reason we say this isn’t because we think you don’t need it. However, we’re not going to recommend a safe room (or a panic room ) in your house. We don’t mean to brag, but yes - of course we can. One of the most common inquiries we receive from potential clients is the feasibility of building a safe room in their house.
