Private Primary Flood

No other type of natural disaster has done more damage and destruction than flooding. In fact, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), just 1 inch of water can cause $27,000 or more in damages to your property. It is important to remember that your insured’s homeowner policy oftentimes does not cover flooding, and even if it does you may need excess coverage to truly protect your home.
