Westmont is drained by tributaries of the East Branch DuPage River and Salt Creek that pass through its neighborhoods. Where those small channels define FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas, an Elevation Certificate documents a building’s relationship to the flood level.
A FEMA Elevation Certificate documents your building’s elevation relative to the Base Flood Elevation on the FEMA flood map. Insurers use it to rate flood policies and communities use it to confirm floodplain compliance; it can also support a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) to remove a structure from a flood zone.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your project.
Westmont is home to about 24,429 residents across Downers Grove and York townships in DuPage County, seated at Wheaton. Local tributaries feeding the East Branch DuPage River and Salt Creek create mapped floodplain, and a licensed surveyor’s Elevation Certificate ties a structure’s lowest-floor elevation to the Base Flood Elevation. Owners rely on it to rate flood insurance, meet floodplain-permit requirements, and support a Letter of Map Amendment. Completed Westmont paperwork is recorded with the DuPage County Recorder of Deeds.
Those adjacent to the village’s creeks and tributaries, where mapped flood hazard areas run along the channels, are the parcels most likely to need an Elevation Certificate.
It is FEMA’s official determination that a specific property is outside the mapped floodplain, and an Elevation Certificate provides the supporting elevation evidence.
No, it is also used to demonstrate floodplain-permit compliance and to support map-amendment requests, in addition to insurance rating.
