Do Your Foundation Openings Meet FEMA Requirements?

The National Flood Insurance Program has established regulations, for buildings that are constructed in flood hazard areas, to protect them from damage caused by flood forces.

The regulations require that residential buildings constructed in A zones have the lowest floor (including the basement) elevated to or above the base flood elevation. Enclosed areas (such as crawl spaces) are permitted under the elevated buildings, provided the enclosed areas meet restrictions related to flood resistance, including use of flood damage-resistant materials and installation of openings to allow for automatic entry and exit of floodwaters.

Openings in Foundation Walls and Walls of Enclosures

If you are concerned about moisture and humidity in your crawl space and are considering an encapsulation system for your home that is located in a flood area, then insulated flood vents are your best option. Insulated flood vents seal off the outside air, allowing you to control the humidity in your crawl space and keep out unwanted pests and critter. They also automatically equalize hydrostatic flood loads on the exterior walls by allowing the automatic entry and exit of flood waters.


Insurance agents will also request that property owners provide documentaion as part of applications for NFIP flood insurance. This will be provided to the homeowner after the installation of the flood vents.

Rock n Roll Marathon, Savannah

Robert Videon, owner of Lowcountry Basement, and Jason Simmons, Production Assistant participated in Savannah's first Rock n Roll marathon. This was a grueling 26.2 miles through the streets of beautiful Savannah, but the team pushed forward and completed the race!

Nancy Videon, co-owner of Lowcountry Basement, volunteered as co-captain of the final water station on the course. She helped organize and motivate a team of about 45 volunteers to set up and maintain the water station, which consisted of about 64,000 cups. It was non-stop work for 9 hours, but was loads of fun to encourage each runner as they neared the finish line.

Does Your Home Need Flood Vents?

Is your home located in a designated flood zone? Is your insurance company informing you that your annual rate will increase by $1,000 - $2,000 per year! Yikes!

A recent customer discovered, after purchasing a new home in Southbridge, that her homeowner's insurance would increase by over $1000 a year since the home is located in a flood zone. The home is on a crawl space and does not have flood vents installed. The customer rushed out to Lowe's to find a solution and was then referred to Lowcountry Basement Systems to help solve the issue.

To help the home meet FEMA requirements, our crew installed insulated hydrostatic flood vents, every 200 feet around the perimeter of the home in the crawl space area. The vents, available in either stainless steel or a powder-coat white, automatically release with rising water to unlock the bi-directional flood door. The vents are ideal for encapsulated crawl spaces to keep out air and unwanted pests, but allow for the flow of water in the case of a flood. Installing flood vents will maintain the aesthetics of your home and save you money on your insurance as well!
