A homeowner suspects a non-spinning turbine vent allowed rainwater intrusion during a wind-driven storm, causing a ceiling leak.

Existing turbine vents lack a design or mechanism to prevent water ingress when they fail to spin, leading to leaks during storms.

StormGuard Turbine Vent

A turbine vent that automatically closes and seals when wind speeds exceed a threshold or when the vent stops spinning, preventing rainwater entry. Combines passive ventilation with active weather protection.

Key Features
  • Self-sealing damper that closes when vent is stationary or during high wind/rain
  • Rugged bearing system ensuring free spin in low wind
  • Easy retrofit installation on existing roof openings
  • Corrosion-resistant materials for long life
Target Users: Homeowners in storm-prone regions experiencing ceiling leaks from turbine vents
Revenue Model: $40-60 per unit direct-to-consumer or via home improvement retailers
