Flood Insurance

Protect Your Home from Costly Water Damage

Add Flood Protection to Your Home Insurance

Did you know that most standard homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policies don’t cover flood damage? It’s a common misconception — and a costly one. In fact, FEMA reports that over 20% of flood claims come from properties in low- to moderate-risk areas. The truth is, flooding can happen anywhere, and having the right coverage can save you from unexpected financial stress.

What Does Flood Insurance Cover?

Flood insurance adds an essential layer of protection against water damage caused by:

Heavy or prolonged rainfall

Storm surges and overflowing rivers

Rapid snowmelt

Blocked or overwhelmed drainage systems

Without flood coverage, the cost of repairs and replacements after these events falls entirely on you.

Flood insurance is generally divided into two main categories — Building Coverage and Contents Coverage:

Building Coverage Includes:

Foundations and structural walls

Electrical and plumbing systems

Water heaters, furnaces, and built-in appliances

Permanently installed flooring and carpeting

Contents Coverage Includes:

Furniture and personal belongings

Clothing and electronics

Portable appliances (like microwaves and window A/C units)

Washers, dryers, and kitchen equipment

The True Cost of Flood Damage

Water damage can strike fast — and when it does, repairs often mean full replacements. From drywall and flooring to furniture and electrical systems, floodwater can render everything unusable due to mold, mildew, and contamination risks.

Even just a few inches of flooding can lead to tens of thousands of dollars in repair and replacement costs.

Understand Your Flood Risk

Some lenders require flood insurance based on your home’s location in designated flood zones. However, even homes outside high-risk areas can experience flooding during storms or drainage issues. It’s important to assess your risk and stay prepared before disaster strikes.
