Check out these awesome flood vents! If you live in a flood area or the beach area and you want a flood insurance policy, odds are that a requirement from the insurance companies is to install flood vents. The SmartVent flood vents stay closed on any normal given day to help protect your crawlspace from the outside humid air. However, when there is a flood, the floating mechanism built into the design allows them to open up and let the water in and out, relieving the pressure off your foundation walls. Normally water in the crawlspace is bad; however, pumping out and drying a crawlspace is MUCH easier than fixing a damaged foundation.
These homeowners from Bethany Beach have the right idea! Take precautions BEFORE something bad happens. From the old grate system, to the new SmartVent flood vents - these homeowners gained added protection from floods and possible extensive foundation damage.
A home in Fenwick Island, Delaware had a major problem. The foundation was actually cracking in a horizontal angle. If the problem was not solved by that day, everyone at DryZone was afraid that this home owner would no longer have a home. We immediately took precaution and action. We had installed Wall Anchors, which are used to form the house back up and keep it that way. What we do is we go about 12 ft away from the home and dig a hole, there we will place the Earth Anchor down after we place in the rod. The rod is placed in the ground outward after we drill a hole in the foundation wall we can then place the anchor itself and tighten it.
A crack forming in your basement can be horrible for your basement because it allows water an easy way in and it could mean there is instability in your basement. This can now be quickly remedied by the instillation of CarbonArmor which will seal the crack and provide support for your basement wall.
