There are a few funding options available if you want foundation repairs or need to restore your home. One option is a Parish-Level Hazard Mitigation Assistance Grant. This grant is funded by FEMA and is available after a major disaster has been declared.

Severe Repetitive Loss is another FEMA grant available to homeowners who have experienced repeated flooding. According to our experts, flooding can also be covered up to $30,000 through Increased Cost of Compliance coverage. Finally, a Federal Housing Administration 203k Loan is a mortgage program that can help you repair and update old or damaged properties.

Business owners will be happy to learn that they can find funding as well. Small Business Administration Mitigation Loans can help small businesses through non-construction expenses. This can be helpful if you've lost a large amount of inventory to a disaster. Call Schexnaydre Restoration & Construction today to learn more about your funding options!

Even if your home badly needs foundation repairs, it may not always fall under the definition of "substantial damage." This determination is made by your local government, which is generally a floodplain manager or building official. Substantial damage applies to a structure in a Special Flood Hazard Area — or a 1% annual-chance floodplain — for which the total cost of repairs is 50% or more of the structure’s market value before the disaster occurred, regardless of the cause of damage. This percentage could vary among jurisdictions, but must not be below National Flood Insurance Program standards. Search online for FEMA's fact sheet on substantial damage or call Schexnaydre Restoration & Construction today for more information.
