Keys Flood Solutions

If you have a property or building in the Florida Keys and have questions about how floodplain management regulations affect your property, please contact me for a clear, calm consultation. My goal is to answer your confidential questions, empowering you to make educated decisions that are right for your unique situation.

About Us

Floodplain Management Services

Identification

On appointment, an on-site meeting will clarify that information relevant for your property is discovered, allowing for needs to be identified and addressed efficiently. Each property is approached with an eye on possilities, not with judgement or incentive for future construction contracts.

Explanation

Following a consultation, an understandable report will provide you straightforward answers to your questions, citing applicable regulations with interpretations. Reports will provide owners with analyses of viable scenarios and their associated risks and benefits.

Preparation

Have peace of mind knowing you have proactively assessed your risks and prepared for a damage event. Have a mitigation plan for your business or property to mitigate property damage and allow repairs and recovery to be approved by your community as soon as possible.

Inspection

Your building or property will be inspected and evaluated by a nationally Certified Floodplain Manager and an International Code Council certified Residential Inspector, with years of relevant work experience in floodplain management. Inspection services may extend to investigation of public and private records for information that could be relevant for your situation.

About us

As a resident and property owner in the Florida Keys, and as a Nationally Certified Floodplain Manager, preparing our property for a flood event is frequently on my mind. Understanding your property's flood risks and status of compliance with local floodplain management regulations is critical when planning to repair, renovate, improve or sell. I aim to provide complete, accurate advice that will make you confident that you have the knowledge you need to assess your options and plan for your future.

Certified Floodplain Manager, Published Environmental Scientist, experienced in Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Irma disaster recoveries.

Good Questions

How far will you travel?

I aim to meet with and serve property owners throughout Monroe County, Florida. If assistance is requested on "the mainland", I will do my best to accomodate.

I lost my flood insurance discount and don't know why. Can you help?

Yes. I will assist property owners in determining the nature of their violation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) violation tracker, and which actions can restore the discount.

Llamame y hare lo mejor que pueda para ayudar.

Are you the inspector I need?

This business does not provide '4-point inspections' or home inspections mandated for transfer of property. Also, it is not the intention of the business to offer private provider inspection services.
