Look beyond your homeowners policy
Standard homeowners policies generally exclude flood damage. Flooding can also happen outside mapped high-risk areas, so a lender’s decision not to require coverage does not establish that a property is safe from flooding. Review the address, property characteristics, and available coverage before deciding.
Questions to ask before choosing a flood policy
What building coverage and belongings coverage are included, and what are their separate limits and deductibles?
How will a covered loss be valued, and which property or locations have special restrictions?
When can coverage begin? Waiting periods and exceptions matter, particularly when a closing or storm is approaching.
Does the policy meet your lender’s requirements?
Which National Flood Insurance Program or private flood options are available for this address?
We can help organize these questions and review the quoted policy terms. Do not assume different flood policies have the same limits or benefits.
Email your declarations pages for a flood review
Email your current property insurance and any existing flood insurance declarations pages to greg@gregagency.com. Include your preferred contact information and the address you want to insure. We will review the information and follow up about the building, its use, and any additional documents needed. If you do not have an existing policy, email the property address and a brief note to get started.
Common flood insurance questions
Is flood the same as a leaking pipe or sewer backup?
No. Different causes of water damage can fall under different policy provisions. Describe the risk you want to address so we can check the appropriate coverage.
Can I wait until a storm is forecast?
No. NFIP policies carry a 30-day waiting period and most private flood policies 10 to 14 days, so a policy bought when the forecast turns will not be in force when the water arrives. It is better to review coverage in advance. Many flood policies have a waiting period, and a submitted quote request does not mean coverage has started. Confirm the effective date with the agency.
Can renters ask about flood coverage?
Yes. Ask about protection for your belongings. The building owner’s insurance does not replace a review of your own property coverage.
