Why Get Flood Insurance if I Have House Insurance
Some people decide that having house insurance is enough. They think that because their house insurance plan covers floods, why carry extra insurance for floods? The answer is easy: it’s not enough.
House insurance is important and covers all sorts of problems that can occur for your home. Some of the most common ones are listed below:
- Flood
- Fire
- Tornado or storms, hail damage
- Theft or vandalism
- Other acts of "God"
Unfortunately, the normal level of flood insurance included in a house insurance plan only covers a basic flood. Some only cover damages up to around $10,000. But a major flood that inundates homes and various other areas can damage structures so severely that it can cost $3,500 or more for just a few feet of damages!
Think about how housing insurance alone would fall short if your entire home was damaged and had to be rebuilt.
