Why Buy Flood Insurance?

You likely already have an active homeowners or renters insurance policy—but did you know these policies don’t typically cover flooding?

Heavy rain, rising groundwater, and more can cause flooding in your home, leading to significant financial damages. Beyond damaging your personal property, water damage can threaten the structure of your home. Whether or not you live in a high flood risk area, flood insurance is a small price to pay for peace of mind and protection from extreme financial burden.

What Does Flood Insurance Cover?

There are two types of flood insurance coverage: building property coverage and contents coverage. These coverages are designed to protect your home and to protect what’s inside of your home, respectively. For comprehensive coverage, we recommend purchasing both types of coverage.

When combined, these policies typically cover:

  • Electrical and plumbing systems
  • Furnaces and water heaters
  • Refrigerators and other appliances
  • Permanently installed carpeting, cabinets, bookcases, and paneling
  • Foundation walls and staircases
  • Detached garages
  • Well water tanks and pumps
  • Fuel Tanks
  • Personal belongings (clothing, furniture, electronic equipment, etc.)
  • Washer and dryer
  • Valuable items (up to $2,500)

Keep in mind that building property and contents coverage typically have different coverage limits, so be sure to review your policy carefully to understand your financial liability.
