Protecting Your Home Financially With Flood Insurance

Natural disasters can strike unexpectedly, and in many states, flooding is one of the most common and costly risks homeowners face. Homeowners are often surprised to learn that standard home insurance policies typically do not cover flood damage. It’s essential for homeowners, especially those in flood-prone areas, to understand the value of flood insurance and how it can help protect their homes and financial well-being.

Why Flood Insurance Matters

Even areas that aren’t near the coast or major rivers can experience significant flooding. Without flood insurance, homeowners may be left to cover the cost of repairs and replacements out of pocket, which can be financially overwhelming.

Flood insurance provides coverage for damage to your home’s structure and your personal belongings caused by rising water. This includes events such as overflowing rivers, heavy rainfall or storm surges. Having the right policy in place can make a significant difference in how quickly and fully you recover after a disaster.

What Does Flood Insurance Cover?

Flood insurance may cover the following:

• The structure of your home, including the foundation, electrical and plumbing systems, and major appliances
• Personal belongings such as furniture, clothing and electronics
• Certain cleanup expenses after a flood event

It’s important to note that coverage details can vary, and there may be limits or exclusions. Our team can help you review your options and understand what’s included in each policy.
