Have you asked about flood zone services in the New Bedford area? If you haven’t asked Thompson Farland, you don’t know what you may be missing.
With our main office located in the city of New Bedford, we at Thompson Farland are all too familiar with the risks of water damage and flooding and we want to let you know that we have flood zone services specifically designed to help avoid costly insurance premiums and damage to your home.
Official flood zones are determined by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and are used by realtors, lenders, and insurance agencies to determine if your property is at risk for flood damage, if you need flood insurance, and how high your insurance premium will be. However, land and properties are always changing so a land survey of your property could help you avoid all of these potential costs.
What flood zone services do we offer?
Our first step would be to send a team of surveyors to your property for some basic field work in order to prepare an Elevation Certificate. Based on the elevation of your property, you may be able to file a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) to prove your home is not in a flood zone.
Even if a LOMA is not an option, the Elevation Certificate can drastically lower your flood insurance premium. We can also design engineered flood openings in your foundation, garage doors, etc. that will lower your flood insurance premium.
