31 Mar North Carolina Flood Insurance Information

Spring brings on a lot of rain shower or thunderstorms, which can cause severe flooding in some areas of your home or neighborhood. Floods can inflict terrible and costly property damage. One of the most heartbreaking and preventable insurance scenarios that we encounter is how many people learn that they aren’t covered for flood damage until it’s too late.

So many people have the misconception that their homeowner’s insurance policy will cover flooding. Flood insurance is almost always a separate policy. Flood insurance is available for commercial, home, and property damage. Different flood zones have different flood insurance coverage’s. Another misconception is that flood insurance is just for costal areas, which is not true. Coastal areas may have a higher risk, but local suburban neighborhoods still may have the same amount of risk for floods.

Always remember that most flood damage is not covered by your standard homeowner’s insurance policy.
