Protect Your Home or Commercial Building from Structural Flood Damage
ICC-ES Certified Flood Vents
Does your garage door need an ICC-ES Certified Flood Vent?
Architects, building contractors, garage door dealers, homeowners, and business owners choose to have us install engineered flood vents in our welded aluminum and glass overhead doors to help protect their building’s foundation walls from flood-related damage. The engineered vents are specially designed to open when rising flood waters hit the interior float, allowing water to enter and exit your ArmRLite overhead door and relieving pressure on the door and walls. Our skilled and experienced engineering team can design your customized overhead sectional overhead door to include these vents, so you can rest assured that your home or business is better protected against potential water damage.
What Is a Flood Vent?
ArmRLite’s engineered flood vents provide superior protection against floods. Our ICC-ES Certified vents reduce hydrostatic pressure buildup to help preserve the structural integrity of your garage door, walls and foundations. With the help of ArmRLite’s flood vents, you can rest assured that your property will be secure in the face of a flood.
What Is Wet Floodproofing?
Wet Floodproofing is an effective mitigation technique that allows floodwater to flow safely through enclosed areas, such as garages or crawlspaces, without causing damage.
How Do ICC-ES Certified Engineered Flood Vents Work?
ArmRLite offers ICC-ES Certified Engineered Flood Vents installed in our overhead doors to safeguard homes and commercial buildings during floods. Our proven waterproofing strategy, called Wet Floodproofing, allows floodwaters to pass through your crawlspace or garage without causing any structural damage to walls and foundations. Let us help you keep your property safe from potential flood damage.
What is an ICC-ES Certified Engineered Flood Vent?
ArmRLite’s engineered flood vents are certified through the ICC-ES as meeting the highest performance standards, regulations, and design guidelines for mass-produced flood openings. With our engineered flood vents, you’ll have peace of mind that your home or business is protected from destructive flooding. With ArmRLite, luxury meets quality and performance.
Why Are ICC-ES Certified Engineered Flood Vents Superior to Non-Engineered Flood Vents?
ICC-ES Certified Engineered flood vents provide the highest level of protection from structural flood damage and are certified to meet stringent performance standards. They have undergone rigorous testing and have been designed specifically to reduce hydrostatic pressure buildup to help preserve the structural integrity of your garage door, walls and foundations. Leaves and other small debris can pass through an ICC-ES Certified engineered flood vent to prevent the vent from becoming clogged. Non-engineered flood vents are intended to be used as air vents and have not been designed or tested for use as flood vents. Non-engineered flood vents can become clogged with debris, rendering them useless as flood water passageways. ArmRLite can install our top-quality ICC-ES Certified engineered flood vents in your durable, luxurious overhead garage door to help protect your property from destructive flooding.
