Virginia SMART VENT Retrofit Solution

Nick Nunes, homeowner, was hit with the third worst tidal event in 60 years in Virginia a few months back. His home had air vents installed [utilized as flood vents]. This resulted in Nick paying extremely high flood insurance premiums, because his property was not in compliance. Besides that, Nick had 11 inches of standing water in between his walls because the air vent did not allow the proper flow of flood water through the space. Bob Holme, Certified Floodplain Manager, helped Nick Nunes through the process of obtaining all of the necessary information from SMART VENT. Once, SMART VENT Flood Vents were installed, it guaranteed the LOWEST possible NFIP Flood Insurance Premium. In addition, Nick utilized SMART VENT'S trim & sleeve kit to line out the flood vent opening to eliminate any possibility of standing water in between the walls. "SMART VENT is the solution!" Nick states.
