What you need to know about flood insurance

Many homeowners think that their primary policy will protect them from all types of damage. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. If your home is damaged by water, your coverage will be determined by the cause of the water. Whether it be a burst pipe, excessive rain, or floodwaters. There are different policies that cover different events, and supplemental flood insurance is usually necessary as this type of damage is not covered by a primary homeowner’s policy.

Before you find out that you don’t have the coverage you need, why not sit down with a knowledgeable local agent who can help guide you through the decision-making process? No one wants to find out after the fact that their coverage is inadequate! For residents in historically flooded areas, your lender will likely advise you on the level of insurance that they require, but even if it is not required flood insurance is a smart idea.

Don’t wait until you have flood or water damage to find out you don’t have the coverage you need! Meet with the HBW Insurance Group today and find out how we can help you protect your Catonsville, MD area home.
