As flood waters rise, hydrostatic pressure builds around the home’s foundation. Flood Flaps® patented grill and rubber flaps give way to the pressure of the flood waters, allowing water to enter or exit the enclosed area as necessary. Unlike other engineered flood vents and traditional air vents, our patented collapsing components allow yard debris and/or other obstructions (up to 5.75”) to pass through the opening, eliminating the potential chances of clogged or blocked flood vents. Why is this important? As flood waters rise, yard debris and other obstructions often clog and block other engineered flood vents and traditional air vents, preventing water from passing through the opening. This blockage can prevent the equalization of water pressure surrounding the structure’s foundation and subject it to potential collapse.
