Elevation Certificates
Elevation Certificates (ECs) are official documents that identify a structure's elevation in relation to the Base Flood Elevation (BFE). Required by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), an Elevation Certificate helps determine flood risk, supports compliance with local floodplain regulations, and may impact the cost of flood insurance. At Diamond Shores, we provide accurate, timely elevation certificates for homeowners, builders, developers, lenders, and commercial property owners throughout Conway, Myrtle Beach, Horry County, and surrounding coastal South Carolina communities.
Our licensed survey professionals use precise surveying equipment to document the elevation of your structure and prepare an NFIP-compliant Elevation Certificate. Whether you're purchasing a home, constructing a new building, refinancing, or disputing flood insurance premiums, we deliver reliable data you can trust.
