How do flood vents work?
-
Protect Your Foundation
Flood vents prevent pressure on exterior and interior walls by relieving the hydrostatic pressure caused by quick moving water in commonly flooded areas.
-
Provide Structural Options
Flood vents allow enclosures below base flood elevation.
-
Easiest Mitigation Solution
They can be installed in previously constructed homes, commercial property, or new construction. Carpentier Construction is one of the only SmartVent Flood Vent installers in the seacoast area.
