Flood Risk Determination

Part of our land surveying services is determining how susceptible your property is to flooding. This hazard assessment aims to determine the probability that your area will be flood-stricken over a few years or even decades. With this knowledge in hand, it is easier to ensure compliance with community floodplain management ordinances and perform the necessary steps for risk mitigation.
Determining the flood risk is necessary information that will be presented in your elevation certificate and LOMA application. 

How It Works

Step 1

Order your elevation certificate. 

Step 2

We will call you to schedule the home or business inspection within 24 hours. (Access will be needed to the lower level of the home or business, crawlspaces, attached garages, and all around the outside of the structure.)

Step 3

We will then process the data gathered at the building and fill out the 6-page FEMA elevation certificate form a few days after the home or business inspection.

Step 4

Within 5 to 10 days of your order, you will receive an email with your signed or stamped elevation certificate in PDF form. You will then give this to your lender or insurance agent.

*We can also do a 3-day rush if you need the certificate sooner. Simply add it during checkout.

Step 5

Upon receiving your elevation certificate, we will notify you if you qualify for a LOMA (Letter of Map Amendment).

**We can submit the LOMA application to FEMA for a small fee, or you can do it yourself.***If you are in Flood Zone A or AO and qualify for a LOMA, FEMA will require a water flow topographic map to be included in your LOMA application. We can provide this for an additional fee which we guarantee, or your map fee will be refunded.

STEP 6

FEMA will email us the official LOMA, and we will forward it to you on the same day. Please note that receiving your LOMA can take up to 8 weeks, depending on your case.
