Flood and Earthquake Insurance in California
Flood is the number one disaster in California. When floods happen, most people are not prepared. Just a few inches of water above the ground can cause massive losses, and the best way you can protect yourself is to ensure that you are prepared for it. We can provide you with financial security in case a misfortunate event happens to you.
How we can help protect you
We provide flood insurance for homeowners and renters, as well as commercial building owners. Our flood insurance coverage is custom designed for each client to fit their specific needs while fulfilling all the state requirements. Flood insurance coverage specifically caters to physical losses of property caused by water overflow. A flood is typically described as a temporary condition with a complete deluge of at least two acres of usually dry land, or at least two properties. The cause could be:
- An overflow of inland waters.
- An unusual or abnormal accumulation of surface waters from any source of water.
- Overflow of river on ordinarily dry areas
- Water current carrying earth.
- Landslide
- Slope Failures
Some of the things that you need to understand when purchasing flood insurance are:
- Homeowners insurance is not enough to protect you against flooding
- Flood insurance caters to the cost of damages caused by excess water coming in the home or dwelling. However, most people tend to ignore it unless they live in a floodplain or if they are dealing with a mortgage where the lender requires them to have the policy.
- It is advisable to have a water backup coverage since drains and sewers are not included in the flood coverage.
You do not have to live in a floodplain to purchase this type of insurance. This is because most flood cases happen outside the floodplain. This coverage is meant for anyone living in an area qualified by NFIP.
