Common questions
Flood Insurance FAQs
Does homeowners insurance cover flood damage? +
Standard homeowners insurance usually does not cover flood damage caused by rising water, storm surge, overflowing bodies of water, or broad surface water. A separate flood policy is normally needed.
What information do I need for a flood insurance quote? +
Helpful details include the property address, occupancy, foundation type, year built, prior flood history, lender requirements, desired building and contents limits, current homeowners policy, and elevation certificate if available.
What is the difference between NFIP and private flood insurance? +
NFIP flood insurance follows National Flood Insurance Program rules and limits. Private flood insurance is offered by private carriers and may provide different limits, pricing, underwriting, waiting periods, and coverage terms.
Do I need flood insurance outside a high-risk flood zone? +
Flooding can happen outside high-risk zones. Even when a lender does not require coverage, homeowners may review flood options based on drainage, elevation, storm exposure, nearby water, and risk tolerance.
Do I need flood insurance if I am not in a high-risk flood zone? +
Flooding can happen outside high-risk flood zones. A lender may not require coverage in a lower-risk zone, but homeowners often still review flood options based on property elevation, drainage, storm exposure, nearby water, and personal risk tolerance.
