Flood Insurance
When water rises, be ready.
Flood Insurance Overview
Standard homeowners policies exclude flood. We’ll compare NFIP or private-market options to fit your property and loan requirements.
Who it’s for
- Homeowners in high-risk flood zones – Especially those in FEMA-designated Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) where lenders require coverage.
- Property owners outside high-risk zones who still face flooding risks – Over 20% of flood claims come from areas considered low or moderate risk.
- Renters, condo owners, and businesses – Anyone who wants to protect their property, belongings, or inventory from flood damage not covered by standard insurance policies.
Factors That Increase the Cost of Flood Insurance
- Property location & flood zone rating – Homes in FEMA high-risk zones (Special Flood Hazard Areas) have higher premiums.
- Elevation of the building – Structures below the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) face higher costs.
- Type of foundation – Basements, crawl spaces, and other below-grade areas can increase risk and rates.
- Age and construction of the building – Older homes or those not built to current floodplain standards often cost more to insure.
- Coverage limits & deductibles – Higher coverage amounts or lower deductibles raise the premium.
- Claims history – Multiple past flood claims can significantly increase rates.
Flood Coverage Basics
- Building coverage (foundation, systems, finishes)
