Flood Insurance and Your Home

Did you know that 25% of all flood claims come from minimal risk areas? Or, that most federal assistance for flood victims is actually a loan program that has to be paid back with interest? Even an inch of water in your home can cause substantial damage. From structural or mechanical damage to debris cleanup and floor surfaces (like tile and carpeting), flood insurance can protect your investment in ways your homeowner’s policy will not.

According to FEMA, virtually every state in the union has floods or flash floods. .

Still not convinced you need flood insurance? Check out this link sponsored by FloodSmart.Gov, Flood Insurance: What and Why.

We urge you to become informed and protected, if necessary, in the event of possible flooding in your area. Even winter storms and snow melt are documented (and often overlooked) sources of flooding.

If you have questions about moving, building, selecting your first home or moving up to your next home, contact DAVID BRENTON’S TEAM.

When you are serious about moving… put our TEAM to work for you!
