These certificates are often requested in connection with insurance policies to determine if a structure is inside or outside the current flood plain, and if inside, to what extent it is affected. These certificates require a comprehensive amount of field surveying prior to completing the certificate forms, which themselves are also quite extensive. The field work and certificate form of a FEMA Flood Elevation Certificate must follow specific instructions and guidelines designated by FEMA. At Zenith Land Surveying we have completed this process for a variety of sites and clients many times, so we have the expert knowledge and experience to help with this aspect of a home or project.
