Frequently Asked Questions
Each of our shelters come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty through our manufacturer. This warranty covers Leaks, Cracks and Peeling of the interior gel coat.
Our shelters have different depths depending on which shelter you purchase. Our 6 Person Shelter is placed 60-65 inches deep. The 10,12 and 20 Person is approximately 85 inches deep.
Many of our customers will install their storm shelters themselves. If you have a friend with a mini-excavator, you can get them to install your new shelter and save money.
All of our shelters are priced with Standard Installation unless otherwise noted and advertised. The standard installation is where we come to the property, we dig the hole for the shelter, level the hole floor, place the shelter and cover the shelter. That is our standard installation. Should we discover very hard chert rock, the cost will may increase even after we have scheduled the installation due to unforeseen dig obstructions.
UNFORTUNATELY WE DO NOT INSTALL IN PLACES WITH SOLID ROCK OR AREAS SUCH AS SIGNAL MOUNTAIN, LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, OR SURROUNDING MOUNTAIN TOPS DUE TO SANDSTONE AND GRANITE UNDERGROUND. We do suggest a 3rd party for those sites who has the equipment to install in solid rock. The installation price is charged by a 3rd party that is not in anyway affiliated with Safety 1st Storm Shelters. The price of the shelter will given as a self install price. We will deliver the shelter to your property and the 3rd party the homeowner has chosen to install will offload the shelter from our truck.
Every shelter we sell has air vents. The air vents are built in the door frame and are protected by the door. The door cups over the vents, allowing positive airflow yet protecting the shelter from getting water in the shelter.
Made in the USA
Each of our shelters are designed, crafted and made in the USA. Our production facilities work 50 full time employee’s plus many more employee’s in each of our distributor locations across the country. Each shelter you purchase puts men and women to work right here in the United States.
With our Limited Lifetime Warranty on every shelter, we know our customers will be assured of a lifetime of service with each shelter. Every shelter purchased keeps American’s working and helps insure our workers maintain a strong workforce in today’s competitive market.
Incredibly SAFE
When we started our business, we had researched several underground storm shelters and chose the LS Family of Shelters. Our shelters are engineered with families in mind. Each of the shelter designs have been thoroughly checked by Texas Tech University, with TTU rigorous testing including 250 mph 2×4 door tests, wind test and durability tests.
Each shelter we sell meets and EXCEEDS FEMA requirement’s. Every shelter comes with marine carpet, hand rail, slip resistant stairs and built-in bench seating. The interior is gel-coated and is hyper-white to reflect even the smallest of lights and illuminate the entire inside of shelter.
We are a family run business dedicated to providing our customers with the absolute best product available. Our customers work directly with the owner, not a middle man, When you call our phone number, 99% of the time the phone will be answered by the owner of the company. The other 1% will get our voice mail and we normally return the call within a few minutes. It is our owners wish to handle each customer themself and to operate the installation equipment thus providing a committed job for each of our customers.
What Our Customers Say
Jeff and his helper came out to install our new shelter and he did everything he said he would do. He actually went well beyond what he said he would do for us. My husband was out of town and he live streamed the entire process so my husband could watch.
We HIGHLY recommend Safety 1st Storm Shelters because they do what they say they’ll do.
Our shelter is an excellent purchase for our family. We’ve got inside ours the next day after it was installed. We were totally safe and the kids did not even think about the storm. Our shelter is our lifeline. Anyone thinking about an underground storm shelter should buy from Safety 1st Storm Shelters.
We are so thankful for our storm shelter. We have used it 2 times since we purchased our 12 person shelter and we felt very safe. While inside our shelter during the storm, we were very confident we would be safe and we were. The wind took our back porch off but we were safe. We love our shelter and Safety 1st Storm Shelters did a wonderful job with the install.
We love our shelter. Although we have not used ours yet, we know it is there if we need it.
When we found Safety 1st Storm Shelters it was like WOW, a company with a good reputation. Our neighbors got a shelter and we once had to get into their shelter during a bad storm. We called Jeff from inside the shelter, DURING THE STORM, and told him we want one immediately. He drove the next day to get the shelter for us and installed it within 2 days of the big storm. All we can say is Jeff and his helper were professional and installed our new shelter. We no longer have to visit our neighbors shelter during a storm… we have our own shelter now.
My daddy installed our storm shelter for us right after we bought our home. If anyone is considering a storm shelter, my daddy, Jeff will install it for you. Stay safe with your family underground.
We got our shelter in just in time. Within 90 min of Jeff and his helper leaving, we had to get inside our shelter. The wind was terrible, the rain was hard but we were safe. We only barely heard the rain and wind from inside our shelter. We were safe and we will forever be thankful for Safety 1st Storm Shelters installing our shelter so quickly.
We are so thankful Safety 1st Storm Shelters brought our shelter. Jeff worked in the rain, got the hole dug and had to wait for the rain to stop. He got the concrete poured and our shelter set. So thankful for Safety 1st Storm Shelters and what Jeff did for us.
Safety 1st Storm Shelters did and excellent job install our 12 person shelter. The site work was cleaned up and the shelter dirt was smoothed out for us. The extra dirt was left on top of the shelter so I could backfill the shelter area after the rain. Excellent work and amazing shelter.
LOVE LOVE LOVE – Our shelter has been the greatest stress reliver. With storms, we know where we can go. Before we would pace the floors wondering where we could go during the storm. But now, we have our shelter for safety. Our kids love it too.
