Flood Elevation Certificate in Bergen County, NJ

New Jersey has a flooding problem. Be it flooding, hurricanes, even super storms, New Jersey communities have suffered extensive flooding and water damage over the past decade. That makes flood protection, and flood insurance, more important than it has been in recent memory. But if you are trying to get flood insurance, you will find that you need something called a “flood elevation certificate” to get the best possible rate or to even get insurance at all. And to get that flood elevation certificate, you will need to hire a skilled and certified land surveyor.

Land surveyors will carefully study your property, be it commercial or residential, to determine the base flood level of your property. When they are finished, they will present you with a Flood Elevation Certificate. These certificates are used for purposes of record keeping, but also to use in studies by organizations like FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Association) to improve national flood preparedness. You can be comfortable in knowing that the time and effort you spend getting your certificate is going to help prevent loss of property and life due to flooding.

Insurance companies ask for Flood Elevation Certificates because they need to add that information to their actuarial tables to determine what to charge you for insurance. The less of a flood risk you are according to the elevation certificate, the lower your insurance rates. Having a Flood Elevation Certificate can help to save you a lot of money when you add up all the savings over the life of your property.
