Understanding Your Flood Insurance Policy:

Understanding the details of your flood insurance policy is crucial for a successful claim. Here are some key points to consider:

  • Coverage: Flood insurance policies typically cover damage caused by rising water, including damage to the structure of your home, personal belongings, and attached structures like garages.
  • Limits: Flood insurance policies have coverage limits for both the structure of your home and your contents. Make sure you understand these limits and whether they are adequate for your needs.
  • Deductible: This is the amount you'll need to pay out of pocket before your insurance coverage kicks in. Make sure you understand your specific deductible amount.
  • Exclusions: Some flood insurance policies may exclude specific types of damage, such as damage caused by sewer backup or contamination. Carefully review your policy details to understand what's covered.
