Elevation Certificates

 

Elevation certificates are documents that determine how susceptible your commercial or residential property is to flooding and the damage that could result. Your insurance agent will use this along with other elements to calculate the cost of your premium. This certificate estimates the risk of flooding and that flood waters will enter your home’s lowest floor. Documents like this are issued by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and managed by FEMA. These are required to get a low-premium flood and hurricane insurance policy on your home. That is why it is important to adhere to the safety aspects as laid down by the government regulations.

 

Elevation certificates typically include the following critical facts and key information about your home or office property:

 

• • Building characteristics – notable features such as attached garages or covered patios are examples of any structural features that may exist.
• • Flood zone and location – in order to determine the level of risk to your home or office property, the NFIP has established different flooding zones that are used when Inspections and Elevation Certificates creates an elevation certificate.
• • Lowest floor elevation – when it comes to flooding, the most vulnerable floor in your business or home is the lowest. Depending on the type of home you own, this could also include the basement or garage. Therefore, it’s up to a professional inspector or surveyor to assess and evaluate the elevation of your property according to FEMA’s guidelines and regulations.
