Flood Zone Determinations

Federal flood insurance regulations require that lenders evaluate any property used to secure a loan to determine whether or not flood insurance is necessary. This protects both the borrower and the lender. We use an automated system which produces instant status certifications on 90% of all work ordered, as well as tax maps, FEMA flood maps, municipal maps, topical maps, aerial maps, etc. Not only does Equiquest offer affordable Flood Hazard status determinations, we can also monitor the flood hazard status on a property for as long as the loan is in force.
