Don’t fall into the trap of thinking a house flood can’t happen to you. Any home can be at risk for flooding, especially in South Florida, a hurricane-prone area. Homeowners here should be particularly cautious and proactive about flood risks. In high-risk areas, flood insurance might even be required.

A common misconception is that homeowners’ insurance covers flood damage. Unfortunately, this is not true. Only flood insurance can guarantee coverage in the event of a flood.

Just one inch of water in your home can cause thousands of dollars in damage. Save yourself from costly out-of-pocket repairs by contacting Able Insurance to learn more about flood insurance.
