Washington Flood Insurance

Floods can cause severe damage, and it’s crucial to be prepared for them. Even a small amount of water can cause serious problems to your property. It’s not just the initial water damage; resulting issues such as mildew and sewer backup can be frustrating, too.

Unfortunately, many people believe that their property is protected from flood damage under their homeowners policy. This is false. Nearly forty years ago, Congress created the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to sell flood insurance separately from homeowners coverage in order to provide an insurance alternative to disaster assistance. They did this in order to meet the escalating costs of repairing damage to buildings and their contents caused by floods.

As a result, it is necessary to invest into a flood policy if you want to protect your home from the damage that floods can cause. Besides paying for repairs to your building, it also includes expenses to pay for your damaged contents.
