Flood Insurance

The peace of mind you need to be protected against the unforeseen natural events.

What's Flood Insurance?

Flood insurance is a stand-alone policy designed to protect property owners against financial losses resulting from flood-related damages. Unlike standard Homeowners or Renters Insurance policies, which typically exclude flood damage, Flood Insurance provides specific coverage for losses caused by flooding, including inundation from overflowing rivers, storm surges, heavy rainfall, or snowmelt.

All the Coverage You Need

Flood Insurance standard coverage includes the following protection for flood-related damages:

Dwelling

Protects the main structure of your home, including its foundation, walls, floors, and built-in appliances.

Personal property

Safeguards for your belongings, such as furniture, electronics, clothing, and other items.

Loss of use

Helps to cover living expenses such as temporary housing, meals, and transportation if your home becomes uninhabitable due to flood damage.

How Much is Flood Insurance?

Several factors can affect the value of a Flood Insurance policy. Let’s review the most common ones:

Properties located in high-risk flood zones generally face higher premiums due to the increased likelihood of flooding and the potential for more extensive damage.

Your home’s location, your zip code, and the vibe of the neighborhood can all contribute to the cost of your Flood Insurance price.

Older homes or homes in poor condition may have higher premiums due to their greater vulnerability to flood-related damage and higher repair or replacement costs.

Certain construction materials and methods may be more resilient to flood damage, potentially resulting in lower premiums, while more flood-prone materials or construction styles could lead to higher insurance costs due to increased risk.

Larger homes typically have more valuable structural components, potentially leading to higher premiums to adequately cover the increased risk and potential losses associated with flood damage.
