The Hidden Costs of Flooding for Homeowners in WA, FL, TX, ID & AZ
Many homeowners assume they’re protected from all types of damage simply because they have a homeowners insurance policy. Unfortunately, flood damage is not covered by standard home insurance—and that misunderstanding can cost you tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars when the unexpected happens.
Whether you live in the rainy Northwest, hurricane-prone Southeast, or arid Southwest, flood risk is real. At Insurance Alliance, we help homeowners in Washington, Florida, Texas, Idaho, and Arizona get the flood coverage they need—before the next storm hits.
Flooding Is More Common Than You Think
Floods are the most frequent natural disaster in the United States. They can happen quickly and unexpectedly from:
- Hurricanes in Florida
- Torrential rains and flash floods in Texas
- Snowmelt and overflowing rivers in Idaho
- Urban drainage issues and storm runoff in Washington
- Monsoon storms in Arizona
Even homes located outside of “high-risk” zones are at risk. According to FEMA, over 25% of flood claims come from moderate-to-low-risk areas.
The Real Cost of Flood Damage
A few inches of water in your home can lead to massive damage:
- Ruined drywall and flooring
- Destroyed furniture and appliances
- Mold and mildew
- Foundation issues
- Temporary displacement
Without flood insurance, you could be left to pay for these expenses out-of-pocket. And while federal aid may be available after a major disaster, it's often limited—and not guaranteed.
What Flood Insurance Covers
Flood insurance typically includes:
1. Building Coverage
Protects the physical structure of your home—foundation, walls, HVAC systems, electrical, and more.
2. Contents Coverage
Protects personal belongings like clothing, furniture, electronics, and appliances damaged by floodwaters.
This coverage provides peace of mind, knowing that a single storm won’t wipe out your home’s value or your family’s financial future.
