Flooding in Orlando Florida

Flood Damage to a Home

Flooding in Orlando Florida - If you were around in 2013, then you likely remember the weather we had and the flooding that occurred. Many of my clients worry about their potential home being in a flood zone. So how can you be sure that your home is not in a flood zone, protect your family and investment, and also avoid high flood insurance costs? Here are three things you can do:

1. Take the time to talk to neighbors before you buy a particular home. The neighbors tend to know the area, and are usually quick to tell you about their high flood insurance costs.
2. Use the FEMA flood service map. Type in your address and it will show you if you are in a high risk zone: Click Here
3. Hire a diligent home inspector, such as myself, to give you a thorough home inspection and to look for indications of possible previous flooding.
