In the aftermath of another catastrophic hurricane that produced record rainfall amounts, Flood Zone Correction, Inc., the nation’s first flood zone correction company, urges all property owners to keep the storm drains clear! Landscaping debris such as leaves, branches and other materials can clog storm drains that keep your home safe from floodwaters. When the drains clog or materials block the flow of water into the drains, water has nowhere to go but up, resulting in street, lawn and possible home flooding.

Most communities throughout the country have made significant investments in their drainage systems to protect against flood damage during heavy rainstorms. But, if the storm drains are clogged or blocked by debris, the risk of flooding increases dramatically,” states Dan Freudenthal, President of Flood Zone Correction, Inc. Freudenthal continues, “We encourage neighbors to band together to make sure their storm drains are clear to flow water away from their homes to safe locations.

A flood risk analysis is a comprehensive examination of homes or buildings within FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency)-designated SFHA’s (Special Flood Hazard Areas). The analysis will underscore the need for a lender’s flood insurance requirement or provide an indication that the flood insurance requirement should not exist.
