Our verification notes

Their verified work is stormwater and floodplain analysis. We found no direct evidence that they sign FEMA floodproofing certificates for non-residential dry floodproofing specifically, so call and confirm before assuming. South Carolina PE and firm license numbers were not pulled and should be checked against the state board.
