Flood Insurance for the Carolinas

Why Flood Insurance Matters

Just a few inches of water can result in tens of thousands of dollars in damage, yet most home insurance policies typically exclude damage caused by rising water, storm surge, overflowing creeks or tidal flooding. Flood coverage is an important consideration, whether you own a coastal home, a river-front property or a residence in a known risk zone.

Flood Risk in the Carolinas

In the Carolinas, many homes face heightened risk from coastal storms and heavy rain events. Even homes outside of designated high-risk areas can experience loss. Factors such as elevation, proximity to water, and construction type have become more central to pricing and coverage.

What Flood Insurance Covers

While specific coverage depends on the policy you choose and the carrier, flood insurance policies may cover the structure of your home (walls, floors, built-in appliances) as well as your personal belongings. Additional coverage may be offered together or separately, depending on whether you are in a lower-risk or higher-risk flood zone.

Some key factors that influence coverage and cost include:

  • How your home is built (foundation type, number of floors)
  • Its location relative to flood elevation and bodies of water
  • Whether the home is occupied full-time, used seasonally, or left vacant for periods of time
