John Warren Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 I'll ask for the hell of it, do you know where 100 and 500 year flood plane elevations are relative to the basement footings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 I appreciate the very detailed documentation, but as a service to those of us with dial-up connections, maybe you could reorganize the photos so there's an overview section at the beginning of the slideshow, or a way to skip ahead? Good work! fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 fini, relying on memory which, as you know, is dangerous it seems that I clicked on the <<l tab when the site came up and thumbnails of all the pics download somewhat quickly which allows you to randomly select pics for viewing. John, got a laugh out of your post then started thinking hmmm......wonder why he's asking that? Did I miss something? :^) Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnysal Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Congrats on a great basement theater!...the images shown look great! is the projected image as good as you expected? what would you do differently if you had the chance to do this a second time? again, fabulous room! regards, tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShapeShifter Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Very nice additions to a great Media Room. In case anyone's interested in mapping their area to see a graphic on 100 and 500 Year Flood Hazardous Areas. The link below will take you to ESRI/FEMA's Hazardous Information Awareness page. Could reinforce the need for adequate Flood Insurance! http://www.esri.com/hazards/makemap.html ------------------ KLIPSCH IS MUSICf> My Systems f>s>c> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Interesting link Wes. Question: What should I do now if I suspect that my home will flood in 500 years? :^) Keith Oh yeah, and Brett, nice!

John Warren Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 actually that's not want they mean. the 100 and 500 year flood plane elevations mean that there is a 1% chance in 1 and 5 years respectively that you will have a flood that reaches the elevation levels shown on the FEMA flood hazard zone maps. 1% chance in 1 year means that in 3.65 days in each year you could get a 100 year flood and 18.3 days in 5 years for a 500 year flood. I had a 100 year flood a year ago last March and I've only lived in this house for three years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShapeShifter Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 John, That old adage of "Ignorance is Bliss" was working for me. Know I'll have to look at that map in a whole new light. Hummm....could sell with enough cushion for Plausible Deniability. Thanks for the clarification.

John Warren Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Wes, If the *lowest* external location of the *dwelling* (not the gargage for example) is out of the flood zone boundary then you are ok and do not need to disclose that the property is in a flood zone. If you think you are close you need to have a your town map maker superimpose the 100/500 year flood zone elevations onto your certified plot survey. Some mortgage companies want to see a 40' minimum distance from the boundary otherwise they may demand flood insurance, others just want it out of the zone. Another point to consider, you can be out of the flood zone but still have a basement flood because the lowest external location is where the foundation meets the top grade of the property. So the basement can flood but the lowest external elevation is higher than the flood level in the basement. FEMA and mortage companies consider that the *serious* flood risk is when the water reaches the first floor. Under these conditions the insurance liability is significant. To install a high dollar HT in a basement (or to just finish a basement) a detailed hydrological study of both the flood zone and high water table elevations and an instrumented GPS elevation survey of the property should be conducted. Some installers (the good ones) will recommend it. Once these elevation studies are complete the risk associated with flooding can be determined. I would build iff the basement FOOTING is at an elevation equal to the elevation of the simultaneous occurance of both the 50 year high water table AND the 100 year flood elevation. This usually occurs after a heavy snow melt and subsequent heavy spring rain. Very few homes made today meet this rqmnt. Home builders just need to meet the *lowest* external location of the *dwelling* rule to build. They can even build in a FEMA flood zone provided they use fill to raise the lowest external point above the flood zone. When they state that a property is not in a flood zone they are technically correct HOWEVER the basement can flood 3-4' and still be out of the flood zone. Homes can be built to satisfy the criteria I stated above and the big dollar homes in my town ($1.5M+) are exactly that, built up 30+ feet of fill. Many of these homes also have billiard rooms, HT's and libraries in the basements. Water + MDF = oatmeal This message has been edited by John Warren on 05-22-2002 at 01:06 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
