Does your Home Owner’s Insurance provide coverage for Flood?

Does your Home Owner’s Insurance provide coverage for Flood?

This is an important question you need to check in your insurance policy. Many home owners often mistakenly believe that flood insurance is only needed or are only available for properties that are located in a flood hazard area or otherwise known as “flood zone”.

The best way to compare this response would be like saying, that your policy only covers Fires if you are located in a high Fire hazard zone, otherwise you do not need it.

To clarify this misconception, let me tell you that, flood is one of the most common natural disasters in the US. Floods can result from torrential rainstorms and or hurricanes. Keep in mind it is not geographically limited. Floods can be caused by melting snow as another example. Areas that had recently had new construction could have had the water drainage patterns altered, hence could be potentially in a flood area.

So if you live in one of the 50 states of the US you could be affected by floods. So please do not wait for disaster to strike, be proactive and check out your policy and if it is not covered get a binder to cover it.

So do not become a victim of uninsured flood loss that you can cover easily.
