FLOOD INSURANCE. A CLOSER LOOK.

Know where flood
fits in your coverage.

Most homeowners policies do not cover flood damage. We’ll help you explore flood insurance options for your property and the belongings inside.

YOUR PROPERTY. YOUR QUESTIONS.
A LOCAL TEAM TO HELP.

TWO IMPORTANT PARTS OF THE CONVERSATION

The building.
The things inside.

NFIP building and contents coverage are purchased separately, with separate deductibles. Ask how each option works for your property.

Building coverage

Addresses covered flood damage to the structure and eligible building components. Ask which systems and fixtures are included and what limitations apply.

Contents coverage

Addresses eligible personal belongings after a covered flood. Review how items are valued, special limits, and what you would pay out of pocket.

Coverage depends on the policy’s definition of flood, terms, exclusions, and eligibility. Learn more about NFIP building and contents coverage.

UNDERSTAND THE AVAILABLE OPTIONS

NFIP and private flood insurance.

Ask us to compare the options available for your property, including pricing, coverage terms, and any lender requirements.

National Flood Insurance Program

The NFIP is the federal flood insurance program managed by FEMA. We can discuss eligibility, building and contents choices, deductibles, and applicable waiting-period exceptions.

Private flood insurance

Private insurers offer flood policies with their own terms. Ask how limits, exclusions, deductibles, and effective dates compare, and confirm lender acceptance when relevant.

QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING

Get the details before you decide.

What if my property isn’t in a high-risk zone?

Flooding can happen outside mapped high-risk areas. A lender’s requirements and your own protection goals are different questions—talk with us about the property and the options available.

Do I need an elevation certificate?

An elevation certificate is not required to purchase NFIP coverage, but it can provide useful property information and may identify discounts. Local floodplain requirements are separate. Ask what is useful or needed for your property and insurer.

Which limitations should I look for?

Ask about basements, belongings, living expenses, and other exclusions or special limits. Flood insurance does not automatically cover every type of water damage or every cost after a flood.

LET’S MAKE THE NEXT STEP EASIER
