Why Flood Insurance? Back To Top

The insurance industry’s definition of flood is much broader than you may realize. Damage to your home and valuables from a flood, and the related events, are typically excluded from homeowners’ policies.  Unfortunately, this is often something that is not learned until a claim is denied.


Obtaining primary flood insurance is the first step toward proper protection, but its coverage limits ($250,000 for the home structure; $100,000 for contents inside it) may leave you with substantial out-of-pocket expenses in the event of major damage. An excess flood policy will extend your coverage seamlessly and provide you with the limits to adequately compensate you.
