The Freedom Flood Vent is an engineered flood vent that is certified to cover 250 sq. ft. It is usable in crawl spaces, garages, & full height enclosures. It allows for bi-directional flow of flood waters to relieve hydrostatic pressure from foundation walls in the event of a flood. Our vents are all ICC-ES certified, FEMA, NFIP & building code compliant, and made in the United States. Freedom Flood Vents may help lower your flood insurance premiums!
Flood Vents protect houses and buildings during floods by preventing hydrostatic pressure buildup that can destroy walls and foundations. This mitigation technique, referred to as Wet Floodproofing, allows floodwater to freely flow through an enclosure such as a crawlspace or garage. The NFIP Regulations and Building Codes require that any residential building constructed in Flood Zone Type A have the lowest floor, including basements, elevated to or above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE). Enclosed areas are permitted under elevated buildings provided that they meet certain use restrictions and construction requirements such as the installation of flood vents to allow for the automatic entry and exit of flood waters. This wet floodproofing technique is required for residential buildings. With commercial buildings, elevation and the use of wet floodproofing techniques is the
suggested form of mitigation. This technique can be a more cost-effective solution, and reduces the impacts the building has on surrounding floodplain in comparison to dry floodproofing techniques.
