Crawl Space Encapsulation Photo Album: Replacing Several Rusty Crawl Space Vents with Smart Vents® in Mantoloking, NJ
We're at this home in Mantoloking, NJ, to replace several broken and rusty crawl space vents.
Remove the Old Vents
First, we removed every single old crawl space vent around the home and cleaned the area.
The Smart Vents®
Afterward, we installed an several Insulated Smart Vents®. A SmartVent® is designed to remain in the closed position until rising floodwater comes into contact with the vent.
How the SmartVents® Work
Water contact triggers an internal float mechanism that unlatches the door. In the open position, vents blunt the destructive force of floodwater by providing a path through the foundation. Having SmartVent® Flood Vents installed can help to prevent your foundation from being severely damaged by floodwaters. Flood vent installation also has the potential to lower your flood insurance premium significantly.
