Contact FEMA and good luck. Expand Flood insurance is never covered by regular homeowners policies. Of course many of the specific flood insurance policies are just as bad. My boss paid flood insurance for years, thought she would be covered only to be told that because the water only got to 30" on her first floor, that's all they would pay for. Even though all the electrical and insulation had to be replaced. It is bullshit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is well known that homeowners insurance generally doesn't cover flood damage. Many agents will suggest adding flood insurance just in case of a natural disaster. Natural disaster insurance can also be purchased. I highly recommend that every homeowner meets with their insurance agent prior to renewing a policy. Many homeowners are underinsured but they do not know it. Always take the time to read the entire policy including the fine print. If you do not understand something then consult with a lawyer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually umbrella insurance covers injury or property damage that you cause to others. In general it is liability insurance. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
