Flood Insurance — Don't Wait Until It's Too Late
Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners insurance. If your home floods without a separate flood insurance policy, you pay the full cost of repairs and replacement out of pocket.
Why You Need Flood Insurance
Flooding can happen anywhere — not just in designated flood zones.
Common causes include:
- Heavy rainfall
- Hurricane storm surge
- Snowmelt
- New development that changes drainage in your area
Even homes on high ground or in dry climates have experienced flood losses.
What Does Flood Insurance Cover?
We offer flood insurance through FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which provides:
- Dwelling coverage up to $250,000
- Personal property coverage up to $100,000
Private flood insurance and excess flood coverage are also available for higher coverage limits.
Important: The 30-Day Waiting Period
Most flood insurance policies require a 30-day waiting period before coverage takes effect. Do not wait until a storm is approaching. By then, it is too late to get covered.
