It depends on your flood zone, property type, and coverage needs. The average private flood policy costs significantly less than NFIP. We find you the best rate available.

What does flood insurance cover?
+

Flood insurance covers structural damage and contents damage from flooding events. Standard homeowners insurance does NOT cover flood damage.

Do I need flood insurance if I'm not in a flood zone?
+

Over 25% of flood claims come from outside high-risk zones. If you own a home, flood insurance is worth considering regardless of your zone.

What's the difference between NFIP and private flood?

NFIP is the federal program with standardized coverage. Private carriers can offer more flexible coverage, better pricing, and higher limits.
