Question 1

What is a flood zone analysis?

Accepted Answer

A flood zone analysis is an engineering review of your property's FEMA flood zone designation, Base Flood Elevation (BFE), and floodplain boundaries. It determines whether your property is in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), what the flood risk is, and what engineering steps can be taken to reduce that risk or remove the SFHA designation.

Question 2

What is the difference between a flood zone analysis and an elevation certificate?

Accepted Answer

A flood zone analysis is an engineering determination of your property's flood risk and FEMA designation — often used to support LOMA applications or permit compliance. An elevation certificate is the official FEMA form that documents your building's elevation. Many projects require both.

Question 3

Can a flood zone analysis remove my property from a flood zone?

Accepted Answer

A flood zone analysis is the first step toward a LOMA (Letter of Map Amendment). If engineering analysis shows your natural grade is above the Base Flood Elevation, we can prepare and submit a LOMA application to FEMA to officially remove your property from the SFHA, eliminating mandatory flood insurance requirements.

Question 4

How long does a flood zone analysis take?

Accepted Answer

Most flood zone analyses are completed within 3–5 business days. LOMA applications require additional FEMA processing time (typically 60 days), but we handle all preparation and submission.

Question 5

Do you do flood zone analysis across all of Georgia?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We serve all of Georgia — including coastal areas near Savannah and Brunswick, river corridors, Atlanta metro, and all other areas subject to FEMA flood map designations.
