FAQ

I don’t have flood insurance, but doesn’t my homeowners insurance cover this?

Most homeowners insurance does NOT cover damage or losses from flooding. Some damage to your property may have been caused by something other than flooding. Look at your policy and see your homeowners insurance agent for more information about what types of damage are covered by your policy.
