Hello World! Welcome Friends! Flood insurance probably covers more than you think and you never know when you might need it. This kind of insurance is a vital addition to your existing policies.
What Flood Insurance Is
If you examine your homeowner’s insurance policy, you will most likely see that flooding is not covered under your plan. You will have to purchase a different plan from Denver insurance brokers to protect yourself from the cost of flood damage. The maximum amount of your flood insurance depends on whether you are buying it for a residential or business property. The cost of your insurance will vary based on your location. Failing to have a flood insurance plan can put you in financial jeopardy.
Who Should Buy Flood Insurance
What Flood Insurance Will Cover
Your policy will offset the cost of repairing or replacing most of your building and possessions. This includes appliances like dishwashers, washing machines, refrigerators and freezers (along with any food you had stored in those appliances). Also covered are fundamental parts of your home like stairs and foundation walls as well as plumbing, electrical and heating and cooling systems. Flood insurance will reimburse damage to cabinets, carpeting and curtains as well.
Destruction of your property within the house may be paid for, like your furniture, carpeting, clothing and jewelry. Sometimes, insurance will pay for losses that are not from a natural flood, such as a neighborhood water main break.
What Kinds of Claims Will Be Rejected
One exception to the items listed above is anything that is stored in your basement. Usually, flood insurance claims cannot include any of your property, improvements or vehicles that are outside of your home or business. It won’t compensate you for any money that was in your building.
If you have to pay for somewhere to live while your building is being repaired, this will not be reimbursed. Flood insurance policies will not refund you for any income a business loses because of flooding, either.
Flood insurance always has a monetary limit, so check your plan before you make your claim to see exactly how much the policy will distribute in total.
