St. Petersburg, Florida will elevate a single-family residence within a flood-prone area to mitigate future flood damage.
St. Petersburg, Florida: $355,955
Project Description
The city of St. Petersburg plans to elevate a single-family residence within a flood-prone area located in the coastal AE flood zone with a Base Flood Elevation (BFE) of nine feet. The project will elevate the finished floor at least two feet above the BFE using a slab elevation technique, which involves constructing new footers and foundation walls that protect the habitable areas from floodwaters. It will adhere to relevant codes and regulations and a structural engineer will verify the home's integrity for the elevation process.
