Our Elevation Certificate & Base Flood Elevation (BFE) Stakeout Process:

You will find working with us easy and professional. And, we respect your time, so you can schedule the home inspection for a day and time that works for you!

This is the 4-step process you can expect:

1. Place your order – Elevation Certificate & Base Flood Elevation (BFE) Stakeout service is easily ordered online.
2. Schedule a home inspection – Once you’ve placed your order let us know the day and time that’s convenient for you  or your customer (for solar companies/installers and heating and cooling contractors) to have us inspect and survey the inside of your home. Typically, our home inspection takes about 30 minutes (homes with complicated basements or difficult to reach crawlspaces take longer).
3. Exterior Surveying – We take surveying measurements of the ground elevations at the exterior perimeter of your home (including attached decks and stairs) and measure the floor elevations and, if you have one, your attached garage slab elevation. You do not have to be home for this work, but we do need access to any enclosed yard areas and please unlock any crawlspace access doors. Also, it is very helpful if your dog(s) are not left outside while we do our surveying work (friendly pooches excepted).
4. Elevation Certificate delivered & Base Flood Elevation (BFE) Stakeout – You will receive the completed Elevation Certificate via email (in .pdf format) and we will mark the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) or offset on the outside of the building in a location determined by the owner, solar company/installer, or heating and cooling contractor .
