Home Raising in Flood Zones
•
The new rules are leaving some homeowners torn between the cost of
raising their homes, which can run from $30,000 to more than $100,000,
or simply rebuilding on the ground and hoping the next storm won't be as
damaging as was Superstorm Sandy nearly a year ago. Those in high-risk
flood zones who don't raise their homes will see their insurance costs
soar.
