Lombard is crossed by Salt Creek and its tributaries, which carve mapped floodplain corridors through several neighborhoods. For homes and businesses inside those FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas, an Elevation Certificate is the key elevation record.
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.
About 44,476 residents live in Lombard, which spans York, Milton, and Addison townships in DuPage County under its seat at Wheaton. Because Salt Creek and connected drainageways pass through the village, a surveyor-prepared Elevation Certificate measures a structure’s lowest-floor elevation against the Base Flood Elevation on the effective FIRM. That information supports correct flood-insurance rating, meets floodplain-permit requirements for work near the creek, and can underpin a Letter of Map Amendment. Survey records tied to Lombard’s Salt Creek corridor are entered with the DuPage County Recorder of Deeds.
Salt Creek and its tributaries define mapped flood hazard areas across parts of Lombard, and structures within them typically need an Elevation Certificate for insurance and floodplain-permit purposes.
It records the building’s location, flood-zone designation, lowest-floor and other reference elevations, and the surveyor’s certification tying those elevations to the Base Flood Elevation.
Elevating the lowest floor above the Base Flood Elevation, documented on an Elevation Certificate, generally improves the flood-insurance rating for the structure.
