FEMA Elevation Certificates and LOMA's
You may be able to reduce flood insurance costs that are required by a lender or possibly remove your structure from the flood zone.
To document this, we can prepare an Elevation Certificate on FEMA’s form that will show the base flood elevation for your property if supplied by FEMA, and measurements such as the lowest floor elevation, and lowest adjacent grade elevation of your structure.
An Elevation Certificate compares a property’s elevation data to the Base Flood elevation data.
A licensed Surveyor makes actual field measurements using survey instruments and techniques to obtain the property’s elevation data and then transfers that data to the Certificate which is an official form of the National Flood Insurance Program. It would be our pleasure to give you a free estimate and answer any questions you may have.

The role of a Certified Floodplain Managers (CFM) is expanding due to increases in disaster losses, the emphasis on mitigation to alleviate the cycle of damage-rebuild-damage, and a recognized need for professionals to adequately address these issues.
Our Floodplain Manager, Scott Collinson has not only been awarded the CFM designation but he has also been one of the few people in private industry to attend FEMA's Emergency Management Institute (EMI) floodplain programs. These are the same programs attended by FEMA employees and other governmental floodplain management personnel. He has graduated from the following EMI national programs: "Retrofitting Flood-Prone Residential Buildings", "Managing Floodplain Development Through The National Flood Insurance Program" and "Advanced Floodplain Management Concepts".
This means you not only get expert work with the land surveying services but you gain access to a nationally certified professional to work with your specific issues relating to your property.
*Always make sure that any company you have performing an Elevation Certificate survey, whether it is residential or commercial, has a Certified Floodplain Manager on their full-time staff.
