Flooding is one of the most common and costly natural disasters in the United States. According to the National Flood Insurance Program, flood damage accounts for more than $5 billion in damages each year. While standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover flood damage, many insurance companies offer flood insurance as an add-on to your policy. Flood insurance can help cover the cost of repairs if your home is damaged by a flood. 

If you live in an area that is prone to flooding, it's important to talk to your insurance agent about flood insurance. You may be required to purchase flood insurance if you live in a high-risk flood zone and your mortgage. Our trained professionals will walk you through the process of getting the most from your insurance in the event of a flood damage restoration.

Floods typically come from one of three sources: storm overflows, flash flooding, or riverine flooding. Storms can cause heavy rains that overwhelm the ground’s ability to absorb the water, which then flows into rivers and streams. Overflows can occur when levees or dams fail, causing water to flood areas that are usually dry. Flash flooding can happen with little or no warning due to heavy rains or a dam or levee failure. Riverine flooding is the most common type of flooding, and it occurs when rivers or streams overflow their banks.

The most common types of flooding in the United States are the following:

• Broken pipes
• Leaky or damaged roofs
• Sewage and drainage backups
• Excessive rain from extreme weather & natural disasters
• Sump pump
• Appliance failures (Dishwashers, washing machines, refrigerators, etc.)

Floods can quickly cause extensive damage to homes and other buildings. However, the water that causes this damage can also pose a serious health risk. Floodwaters often contain sewage and other contaminants that can cause severe illness or even death if ingested. If you come into contact with floodwaters, it is important to wash your hands thoroughly and avoid touching your face.

In addition to the health risks posed by floodwaters, the damage caused by flooding can also create other health hazards. For example, standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, which can spread diseases like West Nile Virus. Flood damage can also lead to mold growth, which can cause respiratory problems.
