What Flood Insurance Does<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Flood insurance covers damage to your home from some type of external floodwater. That includes events such as overflowing rivers, storm surges, heavy rain, or similar events. It includes two types of coverage: building coverage that protects the structure itself and contents coverage to protect your belongings damaged in a flood.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Typically, flood insurance pays for:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Damage to the structure including support beams, foundation walls, stairs, drywall, and other framing of the home damaged in a covered event<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  • Essential system repairs such as fixing central air conditioning, heating systems, electrical systems, and plumbing damaged by the flood <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  • Appliance repair or replacement including any built-in systems such as your stove or dishwasher <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  • Flooring and fixture repair or replacement including lighting, cabinetry that’s installed, bookcases installed, and flooring<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  • Your personal belongings, such as furniture, clothing, and electronics including appliances, computers, and other systems <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Most policies do not cover outdoor property, temporary living costs, or your vehicle. We can help you protect from these risks with other forms of insurance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
