Why is Flood Insurance important?
Natural disasters are unpredictable. Whether caused by hurricanes, heavy rainfall, or rapidly melting snow, floods can cause extensive damage to your property and possessions. Even just a few inches of water can lead to thousands of dollars in repairs.
Flood insurance grants you the reassurance that you’re covered in the event of such occurrences, eliminating potential hefty out-of-pocket expenses.
What does Flood Insurance typically cover?
A standard flood insurance policy generally encompasses:
- Building Property Coverage: Protects the physical structure of your home or building and its foundation, electrical and plumbing systems, built-in appliances, and more.
- Personal Contents Coverage: Shields your personal belongings, such as clothing, electronics, furniture, and some portable appliances. Do note that coverage may vary, so it’s essential to confirm the specifics of your policy.
Remember, these factors are determining Flood Insurance costs
- The property’s flood risk (zone).
- The deductible and coverage amount you select.
- The structure and age of your building.
