FAQ

Why do I need flood insurance if I don’t live in a high-risk flood zone?

Even if you’re not in a designated high-risk area, floods can occur anywhere due to unexpected weather events, drainage issues, or changes in local infrastructure. Standard homeowners insurance doesn’t cover flood damage, so having a separate flood insurance policy ensures your property is protected.

What happens if my home is newly mapped into a high-risk flood zone?

If your property is newly mapped into a high-risk flood zone, your mortgage lender may require you to purchase flood insurance. We specialize in helping homeowners like you navigate these changes by providing tailored policies that meet lender requirements while offering optimal protection and affordability.

How much does flood insurance typically cost?

The cost of flood insurance varies based on factors such as your property’s location, flood risk, and the coverage you select. However, we work with multiple insurers to provide you with the most competitive rates and can help you find ways to lower your premiums through flood-proofing measures and discounts.

Can I get flood insurance if my property has flooded before?

Yes, you can still obtain flood insurance even if your property has experienced flooding in the past. In fact, having a history of flooding makes it even more critical to have the right coverage in place. We’ll work with you to create a policy that addresses your specific needs and risks.

How quickly can I get a flood insurance policy in place?

We understand the urgency of securing coverage, especially if you’ve been newly mapped into a flood zone or have a pending mortgage requirement. Our streamlined process ensures that you can get a customized flood insurance policy in place quickly, often within a few days.

What should I do to lower my flood insurance premiums?

There are several ways to reduce your flood insurance costs, such as implementing flood-proofing measures, elevating your property, or choosing a higher deductible. We provide expert guidance on how to qualify for premium discounts and optimize your policy to make it as cost-effective as possible.

What are the advantages of working with an experienced flood insurance broker?

We leverage our industry knowledge and relationships with top-rated insurers to secure the best coverage and rates for your unique needs, ensuring that you’re fully protected without paying for unnecessary extras.

Why should I choose a specialized flood insurance broker instead of relying on my regular homeowners insurance agent?

While regular homeowners insurance agents may offer bundled policies, they often lack the specialized knowledge and resources needed to provide comprehensive flood coverage.
