Testimonials
"Hi, my name is Eric and I want the best protection I can get for my family. After looking around, I settled on American Tornado Master because of their concrete reinforced steel shelters."
"American Tornado Master worked with me to make sure I was a satisfied customer. I highly endorse their business."
"We selected the American Tornado Master unit because we wanted a solid concrete unit, and since I am handicapped and can barely walk, I need easy access with wide, gently steps."
"Less than 1 week after the unit was installed, my wife and I were forced to use it. It was convenient to enter with my walker. We spent about an hour comfortably inside until the storm passed."
"I just want you to know how very much my family and I appreciate our new storm cellar.
"Thank you for delivering what you promised - you've made our lives a little safer from Texas' extreme weather."
—Luther Himes, Jr.
Retired Fire Chief, City of Ft. Worth
"I just wanted you to know how impressed I am with the tornado shelter and the men who installed it.
"I want to thank you and your installation crew, for giving our family a complete sense of safety in our shelter, should we ever need it."
—Cecilia Griffin
Step 1
The American Tornado Master installation process begins with the delivery of your new storm shelter.
Step 2
After determining the best location for your storm shelter, we measure, stake the site, and begin backhoe excavation.
(NOTE: Prior to excavation, locate and mark all utility and other buried cables and plumbing.)
Step 3
Once the hole has been squared, leveled, and prepared, the storm shelter is removed from the trailer for insertion. Pre-welded lift points help stabilize the shelter while it is moved into position.
Step 4
After installing the lower unit, it is prepared to receive the upper portion so that once the upper unit is set in place, the shelter can be sealed and secured.
Step 5
After your installed shelter has been leveled, concrete is poured at all four vertical sides for stability.
Step 6
The installation site is then backfilled with excavated earth and any excess dirt is hauled away. The final installation steps include the placement of the vents on the rear air outlets.
