Eliminate the Liability of calculating potentially non-compliant flood openings. SMART VENTS have been nationally tested and certified for flood coverage based on performance, not net open area.

As a Surveyor, you are in charge of documenting the compliance/non-compliance of structures built in a Special Flood Hazard Area on FEMA’s Elevation Certificate.

Compliant homeowners will receive the lowest premium available. If non-compliant, the Elevation Certificate will point out to the Insurance Agent what area the homeowner needs to change to become compliant and thus receive a lower premium. A frequent red flag for structure compliance is proper flood openings.
