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.
