Flooding is the most common natural disaster in America, but homeowners and renters insurance policies typically don’t cover it. Flood insurance is the only type of insurance that reimburses you for the significant costs associated with even a minor flood.
With the right policy, you’ll be reimbursed for all your covered losses in the event of a flood Underwritten by California Casualty through the National Flood Insurance Program how it helps
Homes in low-risk areas account for more than 20% of all flood claims. Storms, dams failing, new development changing the landscape and more can cause flooding. Specific flood insurance policies are the only policies that cover flood damage. Most policies need 30 days to take effect.
Floods are expensive. Just one inch of water in a home can cost more than $25,000 in damage. If your home flooded, would you know who to call, or how to clean up? Could you afford to repair your home and replace your belongings? Flood insurance can help you recover.
Government assistance is rare in the event of flooding. Only the president can declare a federal disaster that unlocks recovery funds, and even those are typically interest-bearing loans.1 With flood insurance, you’ll work directly with California Casualty.
