Flood insurance FAQ
Fast answers before you quote.
Is flood covered by homeowners insurance?
Usually no. Standard homeowners policies generally exclude flood damage caused by rising water from outside the home.
NFIP or private flood — which is better?
It depends on the property, lender requirements, pricing, limits, and underwriting. Comparing both can help you understand your options.
Can I get flood insurance before closing?
Yes. Flood coverage is often needed before closing when a lender requires it. Timing depends on the policy and underwriting rules.
Is the flood zone map official?
The map tool is useful for general research, but it is not a guaranteed flood determination, elevation certificate, or underwriting decision.
