Why flood vents? In order to get rural property or conventional real estate insured if in a flood zone, insurance companies require “flood vents” to be in place. The job requires cutting through the cement foundation to provide rectangular shaped cut-outs which are strategically located around the foundation. The theory, is that the flood waters could flow through the foundation, vs. hitting up against the foundation thus increasing the chance of pushing the home off it’s foundation.
This job took a few phases to get it complete, and we were able to work with the insurance company to deliver exactly what they were asking and were successful in getting the customer’s elevation certification of the building which qualified them for flood insurance. We went on to provide this service to all the homes on this property.
