HOME INSURANCE WITH FLOOD COVER


INTRODUCTION

Flooding can destroy your home and everything in it, which is why it’s important
to add flood coverage to your home insurance policy. Flooding can occur as the
result of stormwater, broken pipes, and malfunctioning appliances as well as
flash floods, mudslides, landslides, avalanches, and even volcanic activity. If
you live in an area that’s at risk of flooding or if you have a basement that
could be vulnerable to flooding, make sure your home insurance has flood cover!


HOME INSURANCE WITH FLOOD COVER

If you live in an area that’s susceptible to flooding, a home insurance flood
cover is a must. Standard home insurance policies don’t cover flood damage, and
they may also not cover it if you live in a high-risk area—even if you don’t
experience any actual flooding. It’s important to find out before disaster
strikes how your specific policy handles floods. If it doesn’t offer any type of
coverage at all, it might be time to upgrade to a policy that includes home
insurance flood cover, and other related protections.


WHAT IS HOME INSURANCE?

Home insurance can protect your property against fire, theft, and natural
disasters. It’s also a good idea to get flood insurance if you live in an area
that’s prone to flooding. If you suffer from water damage or have to replace an
appliance because of a flood, your home insurance provider will help pay for
those costs. And since flood cover is purchased separately and typically costs
more than standard homeowners’ insurance, it’s important to know what types of
claims are covered and which aren’t. In most cases, a flood will be considered
anything that isn’t storm-related; even water damage resulting from sewer or
drain backflow could qualify as a flood claim—so know what you’re buying!


HOW TO BUY HOME INSURANCE

Don’t Buy Coverage You Don’t Need: For most, homeowners insurance is a must.
After all, without it, a disaster could cost you thousands of dollars. However,
don’t just buy coverage blindly—determine how much coverage you need for your
home and possessions. Depending on your region and/or certain risk factors
(e.g., fire history), flood insurance might be an additional expense you have to
consider. In some cases, other coverage overlaps with or duplicates flood
insurance. To avoid overpaying for something you don’t need or buying something
that doesn’t fit your needs exactly, do your homework before committing to home
insurance with flood cover.


THE BASICS OF HOMEOWNERS’ POLICIES

There are two main types of home insurance policies: HO-1 and HO-2. An HO-1
policy covers your home and its structures (the walls, roof, etc.), but not its
contents or personal belongings. This means that if a flood hits, an HO-1 policy
would cover damage to your house, while an HO-2 policy would cover damage to
your personal property inside of it.


THINGS THAT AREN’T COVERED IN A HOMEOWNERS’ POLICY

While a standard home insurance policy covers most typical homeowners’ needs,
there are a few items that typically require additional coverage. The most
common is flood insurance. If you live in an area at risk for flooding and don’t
have additional flood insurance, you could be forced to pay for damages out of
pocket if your home is damaged by flooding. In some instances, such as when it’s
federally mandated, your lender might require you to carry flood insurance as a
condition of receiving your mortgage. If so, it makes sense to get rid of any
other policies or gaps in coverage that would force you to cover damages related
to flooding out of pocket. Another item typically not covered by home insurance
is damage resulting from mudslides and landslides.


SHOULD YOU CONSIDER ADDING FLOOD COVERAGE?

If you live in a flood zone, your home insurance won’t cover any damage incurred
as a result of flooding. But if you think about your home as an investment that
you want to protect, adding flood coverage can make sense. Think of it as
similar to adding earthquake coverage for homeowners in earthquake zones—some
even add it even though they aren’t located near fault lines because they know
how devastating an earthquake can be and do not want to take any chances. Many
people who live near water also opt for flood coverage because they understand
how damaging floods can be. If you have questions or concerns regarding whether
or not you should get home insurance with flood cover, there are many things to
consider. For example, is your community prone to floods?


UNDERSTANDING YOUR PERSONAL PROPERTY COVERAGE

Your home insurance flood cover covers both your home and personal belongings.
It comes in two flavors: actual cash value (ACV) and replacement cost coverage.
ACV is cheaper, but it also means you’ll get less when you make a claim.
Replacement cost coverage means that if your stuff gets damaged or destroyed,
you can buy things identical to what was lost rather than settling for used
items or buying cheaper ones. The price of flood insurance isn’t cheap, but it’s
likely cheaper than replacing everything yourself—and it gives you peace of mind
in case disaster strikes.


CONCLUSION



Home insurance doesn’t often feature in many people’s shopping lists, but it
should be at least on your mind if you live in a flood-prone area. Home
insurance companies offer different levels of coverage; however, some may not
pay out if your home is damaged or destroyed by flooding. By finding a reputable
company that offers flood cover, you can protect yourself against natural
disasters like floods and make sure that your home is looked after when things
go wrong.
