Flood Insurance

Increased chance of flooding means this is the year for flood insurance

Spring is on the way, and substantial amounts of rain in the spring can result in flooding. A flood doesn’t have to be a catastrophic event to bring high out-of-pocket costs, and you don’t have to live in high-risk flood area to suffer flood damage. With climate change and sea level rise, more homes are at risk of flooding than ever before.

Home insurance policies specifically exclude damage from flooding. This means that if your home suffers damage because of flooding, you may not be covered. Armed Forces Insurance can help with that.

Here are a few reasons you may want to consider flood insurance:

  • Home insurance policies exclude damage from flooding.
  • Just one inch of water in an can cause more than $25,000 in damage.
  • 25% of flood claims occur to homes outside of high-risk areas.
  • Buying flood insurance is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your property from the unexpected.

But it’s not all bad news. Flood insurance brings peace of mind and coverage is affordable. There is usually a 30-day waiting period for flood coverage to take effect, so don’t hesitate!
