Flood Vents: Protect Your Property 
Be Smart: Install the SMART VENT Foundation Flood VentFloods are one of the most common hazards in the United States. Flood effects can be local, impacting a neighborhood or community, or very large, affecting entire river basins and multiple states. The loss of vegetation along stream beds and non-tidal wetlands due to land development and the increase in impervious surfaces (roads, parking lots, rooftops, etc.), all add to the frequency and severity of flooding. Pressure from flood waters in enclosures that are not properly vented may compromise the entire structure, resulting costly repair or the home's being condemned. Proper flood venting will prevent this kind of loss. Just an inch of water can cause costly damage to your property. Flood vents are intended to minimize the risk of structural damage from the forces of flood waters. With the changes to the Flood Insurance rules at the beginning of the year, installing flood vents are more important than ever. Not only will they protect your home but will most likely cause a significant reduction in your flood insurance premium.  The Smart Vent® door is latched closed until the flood water comes in contact with it. Entering flood water lifts the patented internal floats which unlatches and rotates the door open. This allows flood water to automatically enter and exit through the frame opening, relieving the pressure on your foundation walls. The Smart Vent® comes in a variety of colors and styles and can be installed in both foundation vented crawlspaces or “conditioned” crawlspaces. The flood door is constructed of solid stainless steel wrapped around an insulated foam core. BENEFITS
