During the third inspection, what should you confirm about the foundation and floor elevation?

The focus during the third inspection is to confirm that the foundation and floor elevation have not been altered since the previous inspection. This is critical for ensuring compliance with flood management requirements and maintaining the integrity of the original flood protection measures established in previous assessments. Consistency in these elevations is vital because any modifications could affect the flood risk profile of the structure and might necessitate re-evaluating the building’s compliance with floodplain management regulations.

It is essential that the foundation and floor elevations remain consistent to ensure that the property continues to meet the standards set during earlier inspections and to uphold the safety and resilience of the structure against flooding. If these elevations were to change, it might indicate a potential issue that could impact the flood risk associated with the property.
