What Does Flood Insurance Cover?

Flood insurance covers the cost of repairing or replacing damaged property caused by a flood. But there are several things to consider when purchasing flood coverage, and some flood insurance policies are simply optional. We'll have an in-depth discussion about your choices so you feel secure in your decision.

Home Structure Protection

Repairs to foundations, walls, and built-in systems like HVAC and water heaters.

Personal Property Coverage

Furniture, electronics, and clothing damaged by floodwater. Purchased separately.

Cleanup and Debris Removal

Pumping out standing water and hauling away what the flood ruined.

// What Affects Your Flood Insurance Premium \\

How Much Does Flood Insurance Cost?

There is no flat rate for flood insurance. Two homes on the same street can pay very different premiums. Here is what can play a part.

Distance to Water

How close your home sits to a river, lake, or coastline.

Elevation and Foundation

First floor height, foundation type, and number of stories.

Cost to Rebuild

What it would take to rebuild your home, not what it would sell for.

Your Coverage Choices

The limits and deductibles you pick for building and contents.

Flood History

How often the area floods and whether the property has claims on record.

Flood Zone

Determines whether your lender requires coverage. It is no longer the main price driver.

No. Standard homeowners policies exclude flooding, and most people find that out at the worst possible time. A burst pipe is a homeowners claim. Rising water is a flood claim, and it needs a separate policy.
It is worth considering. Between 2015 and 2019, more than 40 percent of NFIP flood claims came from properties outside high-risk flood areas. If your home sits in a Special Flood Hazard Area and your mortgage is federally backed, your lender will require coverage. Outside those areas the choice is yours.
Most new policies carry a waiting period before coverage begins, typically 30 days. There are limited exceptions, such as buying a policy at a loan closing. The practical takeaway is simple. Do not wait for a storm in the forecast.
Partly. Structural elements and certain equipment are covered. Finished walls, flooring, and furnishings usually are not. If you have a finished basement, ask before you assume.
Call your agent as soon as it is safe to do so. Photograph everything before you clean up or throw anything away. An adjuster will be assigned to inspect the damage and walk you through the paperwork.
