Frequently Asked Questions
Is the flood risk embed widget free?
Yes — completely free, forever. HearthDry badges are free for any website to embed. We ask only that you keep the HearthDry attribution link intact and don't modify the badge design.
Do I need to create an account to use the widget?
No account, no API key, no JavaScript library. The badge is a standard HTML image tag — paste it anywhere on your website and it works immediately.
Will the badge slow down my site's page speed?
No. The badge is a single SVG image served from a CDN with 24-hour caching. It's similar in load impact to embedding a small logo. The image also has loading='lazy' so it doesn't block page rendering.
How often is the flood risk data updated?
City and state flood risk data is reviewed annually each July with our U.S. Flood Risk Report. The badge URL remains the same — your embed automatically shows updated data after each annual refresh. No code changes needed.
Can I embed badges for multiple cities on the same page?
Yes. Generate separate embed codes for each city or state you want to display. Each badge has a unique URL with the city and state parameters.
How do restoration contractors get the Verified Pro badge?
Email us at help@hearthdry.com with your company name, IICRC certification number, and the cities you serve. We verify your certification and add your company to the relevant HearthDry city pages. The Verified Pro badge is then available for you to embed on your website.
What formats does the badge come in?
Badges are served as SVG (scalable vector graphics) — they look sharp at any size and on any screen resolution. The embed code uses a standard HTML img tag that works on any website platform: WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, custom sites, or anywhere you can paste HTML.
Can real estate agents use the city flood risk badge in their listings?
Yes. Many real estate agents embed city flood risk badges in neighborhood guides, buyer resource pages, and blog posts to add credibility and data-backed local insight. The badge links to the full HearthDry city page with detailed risk data and local contractor information.
