Snowbird Services, LLC

Snowbird Services provides, among other services, a watchful eye on weatherization protection for Central Oregon homes.  Keeping foundation vents closed in the winter and open in the summer are prime concerns.

Virtually all of the foundation vents installed since 1990 have problems that prevent the damper doors from staying securely closed.  The problem is that the vent housing warps slightly when the concrete around it dries and the house begins to settle over it.  With that slight misalignment, the dampers just  don't stay closed.  In areas of cold climate, those dampers need to be shut to create a dead-air space under the house to retain heat and seal out moisture.  In the summer the vents need to be open to ensure air flow to control humidity.  Since my Snowbird Services business consists of monitoring temporarily vacant properties, I HAD to find a way to keep those dampers closed.  From that necessity arose invention. 

We can help! 

It's quite likely that your foundation vent flaps won't STAY closed or STAY open.  You've tried all kinds of ways to secure them, all to no avail. 

Over the years we've discovered a way to accomplish both tasks!  

In 2008 we introduced the Foundation Vent Clip!  The Vent Clip is:

• Patented
• Permanent
• Less expensive than foam blocks (which are flimsy and NOT bio-degradeable)
• Good for both Summer and Winter
• Designed and manufactured in Central Oregon

Visit your local hardware store, builders supply, or garden center and ask for FoundationVent Clips.  We're adding new retailers every day!

• The Home Depot
• Lowe's
• Many True Value

Do any of these photos look familiar?

No longer will you have to search for "stuff" to keep your vents closed.  

Those tacky looking "make-do's" are a thing of the past!

Your vent clips remain with the vent all year long so you don't have to arrange for storage like for foam blocks.  Talk about convenience!
