Flood Insurance
You don’t have to own waterfront property to need flood insurance. High water can happen where you least expect it. Not every flood comes from a hurricane, tidal surge, or raging river. Increased development, clogged or insufficient storm drains, spring thaw, and excessive rain, ice or snow all contribute to unexpected flooding. Just a few inches of water from a flood can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage.
What most people fail to realize – until it’s too late – is that homeowners insurance does not cover floods.
