You’ve got your dream home, but do you have flood insurance? It’s not just for those in flood zones, you know. Your regular homeowner’s policy won’t cover flood damage, and that government program? It only gives limited coverage.
Don’t let myths leave you high and dry. Take control, get informed, and let Ollis/Akers/Arney Insurance Business Advisors help you navigate these choppy waters.
Importance and Necessity
You’ve got to understand the importance of flood insurance. It’s not just for those in flood zones, since flood risk exists everywhere. Without it, you could end up facing financial ruin.
It’s a common misconception that homeowners insurance automatically covers flood damage, but that’s not the case. They’re separate policies, you see.
Even if you aren’t in a ‘high-risk’ flood area, lower risk doesn’t mean no risk. A sizable portion of flood claims actually come from outside high-risk zones.
Don’t rely on government disaster relief either. It’s often a loan that needs repaying, not a payout.
Remember, flooding can be caused by storms, melting snow, hurricanes, and even new construction changing runoff patterns.
Flood insurance is your best shield against these unpredictable events.
Debunking Common Myths
Don’t fall for the common misconception that your homeowner’s policy automatically includes coverage for water-related damages. In reality, it typically doesn’t. You’re responsible for ensuring that you’re adequately protected against floods.
Remember, flood risk isn’t restricted to those living in designated flood zones. You could be at risk even if your home isn’t within one. Flood insurance is a separate policy that you’ll need to purchase to guard against this specific peril.
Don’t rely on government programs, either. They only cover a small percentage of homes and don’t always provide comprehensive protection.
