Areas covered around Tuscaloosa
Call from anywhere in or near Tuscaloosa. Say where the house is and you will be put through to an independent waterproofing company that works in that area.
Tuscaloosa
The whole city is covered. The city's own floodplain plan singles out Cribbs Mill Creek and its branches, which run through the residential middle of town, and Cypress Creek along Skyland Boulevard. If your house backs onto either, read the flood zone guide before agreeing to work on the crawl space.
Towns with their own page
Each page covers what is different there: who holds the flood maps, what water is nearby, and who to tell about a public drain.
Also covered
West of Northport, homes in and around Coker. East along the interstate, Brookwood and Vance. To the south and southeast, Duncanville and the country between Tuscaloosa and Moundville.
Brookwood, Coker and Vance are towns with their own councils. The regional hazard plan for west Alabama records that in Tuscaloosa County only the county, Tuscaloosa and Northport have a floodplain manager. In the smaller towns, begin a flood zone question with FEMA's map and your town hall. Duncanville has no town government, so the county's Public Works department is the office to ask.
