We compare options from specialized flood carriers to find perfect coverage at exceptional prices—all through one trusted insurance company that treats you like family.

Critical Flood Insurance Mistakes That Could Cost You Everything—And How Actsphere Protects You

Most property owners make dangerous flood insurance mistakes without even realizing it. At Actsphere Insurance Group, we help you avoid these potentially devastating errors.

Assuming Your Home Insurance Covers Floods

This is perhaps the most costly misconception in insurance. Standard home policies explicitly exclude flood damage, leaving you completely unprotected against the most common natural disaster.

Believing You Don't Need Coverage Outside Flood Zones

Over 25% of all flood claims come from properties outside designated high-risk areas. Just a few inches of floodwater can cause tens of thousands in damage.

Underestimating Potential Flood Costs

The average flood claim exceeds $40,000. Without proper coverage, this comes directly from your savings or through high-interest loans.

Waiting Until Storm Season

Flood policies typically have a 30-day waiting period before coverage begins. Waiting until a storm is approaching means it’s already too late.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't flood damage covered by standard homeowners insurance?
Flood damage is excluded from standard policies because it’s a catastrophic risk affecting many properties simultaneously. Standard insurance relies on the principle that only a few policyholders will experience losses at once. With flooding, entire regions can be affected, creating massive losses. This is why flood insurance is handled separately through specialized programs like the NFIP and private flood carriers.
Do I really need flood insurance if I'm not in a high-risk zone?
Yes, you should strongly consider it. Over 25% of flood claims come from properties in moderate to low-risk areas. These “preferred” zones often qualify for much lower premiums while still providing crucial protection. A “100-year flood zone” doesn’t mean flooding happens only once every 100 years—it means there’s a 1% chance of flooding each year, which is significant over a 30-year mortgage.
How much does flood insurance actually cost?
Premiums vary widely based on location, elevation, construction, and coverage amounts. In preferred zones (moderate to low risk), policies often start around $800-$1200 annually.
What's the difference between the NFIP and private flood insurance?
The NFIP is the government program administered by FEMA, offering standardized coverage with limits of $250,000 for dwellings and $100,000 for contents. Private flood insurance often offers higher limits, replacement cost on contents, additional living expenses coverage, and sometimes lower premiums. Private policies may have more flexible underwriting but aren’t available in all areas. We’ll help you compare both options.
Is flood insurance required?
If you have a federally-backed mortgage (FHA, VA, etc.) and your property is in a high-risk flood zone (A or V zones), flood insurance is legally required. Even if not required, mortgage lenders typically mandate flood insurance for properties in high-risk zones.
What does flood insurance cover and not cover?
Flood insurance typically covers direct physical losses caused by flooding, including damage to your home’s structure, foundation, electrical, plumbing, appliances, carpeting, and personal belongings. Standard policies don’t cover outdoor property (landscaping, patios, decks), currency, precious metals, vehicles, temporary housing, or business interruption. Additionally, damage in basements may have limited coverage, particularly for contents.
How long does the flood insurance waiting period last?
NFIP policies typically have a 30-day waiting period before coverage takes effect. Exceptions include: initial purchase tied to a mortgage closing (no wait), map revisions that move your property into a high-risk zone (1-day wait), and a few other specific situations. Private flood insurance often has shorter waiting periods, typically 10-14 days. This is why securing coverage well before storm season is crucial.
Can I get flood insurance if my home has previously flooded?
Yes. The NFIP cannot deny coverage based on previous flooding, though repeated severe losses may affect rates. Private insurers have more flexibility in their underwriting and may decline properties with multiple flood claims. We work with multiple carriers to find options even for properties with previous flood history.
How do flood insurance claims work?
After a flood event, contact your insurance provider immediately. Document all damage with photos before cleaning up. An adjuster will inspect the property and prepare a damage estimate. Unlike other insurance claims, flood claims often require more detailed documentation of damaged items, including age, value, and replacement cost. The claims process can be complex, which is why having an experienced agent to guide you is invaluable.
