| Why were 41,000 homes destroyed when hurricane Andrew
blew across Florida?
The excess air-pressure pushes on the walls and the
roof of your house. This can make the roof lift up. The
heavy winds can then rip your roof off and the walls of
your house will cave in, leaving your house completely
destroyed. Standard vents (turbines or "whirlybirds") can't pull the air-pressure out fast enough to maintain a safe balance. Also, the strong winds pull turbine vents right off your house, leaving a hole in your roof. This hole allows the rain to enter your house, causing severe and costly water damage.
The Windworker ventilation system has proven itself to be 100% effective through 16 major hurricanes and destructive storms, over the last 15 years. There are nearly 20,00 systems in use worldwide and not one home equipped with the Windworker system has been destroyed by a hurricane! The Windworker ventilation system protects your house
by removing the excess air-pressure before it can cause
serious damage to your house. The Windworker is powered by the wind, requires no maintenance and uses no electricity. The Windworker system functions 24 hours a day to protect your home and family. For more information choose one of the following topics:

Hurricanes cause millions of dollars of
damage every year, as well many injuries and even deaths.
When a hurricane passes by your house, it causes a
dramatic drop in the air-pressure outside. The
air-pressure inside your house, however, does not change.
This makes the air-pressure inside much higher in
comparison to the outside. Your house will push to let
the interior air-pressure escape until the internal and
external air-pressures are equal. 
The Windworker was
designed specifically to remove the dangerous high
pressure that builds up in your house during destructive
storms. Its engineering will allow it to withstand 100+
mph winds. Powered by the hurricane's strong winds, the
Windworker pulls our excess air-pressure from inside your
house, keeping it in balance with the rapidly dropping
air-pressure outside your house.
