In the western Proviso flatlands, Broadview sits close enough to the Des Plaines River and Salt Creek that its lower parcels register on the FEMA flood map. The village’s mix of homes and light industry means both residential and commercial owners can find themselves near a Special Flood Hazard Area. Where that happens, a FEMA Elevation Certificate provides the survey-grade elevation figure that ties the building to the Base Flood Elevation.
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.
Broadview is a Proviso Township village of roughly 8,000 residents in western Cook County. Its drainage feeds the Des Plaines River and Salt Creek, both part of the system the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) manages for regional stormwater. Flood exposure is present along those corridors and concentrated on the lower blocks nearest the water rather than the village as a whole. For an affected property, an Elevation Certificate supplies the elevation data insurers use to rate coverage, the documentation the village needs for floodplain permits, and the foundation for a Letter of Map Amendment when a structure stands above the flood.

Broadview has flood exposure along the Des Plaines River and Salt Creek, concentrated on lower parcels near the water while much of the village sits on higher ground.
You may, if the property lies in or near a mapped flood zone or if a lender or insurer requests one. A licensed surveyor can determine your parcel’s status.
Yes. If it shows the lowest floor above the Base Flood Elevation, insurers can rate the policy on that verified elevation, often producing a lower premium.
