Protection for homes, businesses and the property you have worked to build.

FLOOD INSURANCE

Flooding does not always follow the flood map.

From coastal storms and river flooding to heavy rainfall and overwhelmed drainage systems, water can cause serious property losses. Standard homeowners and most commercial property policies generally exclude flood damage.

Common flood insurance misconceptions

My property is not in a high-risk flood zone. Do I need flood insurance?

Flooding can occur outside high-risk areas. Heavy rainfall, drainage failures and changing runoff patterns can affect properties that have not flooded before.

Will my homeowners policy cover flood damage?

Most standard homeowners policies exclude flooding. Flood coverage typically needs to be arranged separately.

Will federal disaster assistance pay for flood damage?

Disaster assistance is not a substitute for insurance. Assistance may depend on a disaster declaration, eligibility and available programs, and may not cover the full cost of repairs.

Does flood insurance include all water damage?

No. Flood is a defined cause of loss. Sewer backup, seepage, surface water and other water-related losses may be treated differently depending on the coverage. Review policy definitions and exclusions.
