Flood insurance covers direct physical damage caused by flooding to your home’s structure and, if you buy it, your personal belongings. NFIP policies cover up to $250,000 for the building and $100,000 for contents on a single-family home.
- Building coverage: foundation, electrical and plumbing systems, HVAC, water heaters, built-in appliances, cabinets, flooring, and detached garages.
- Contents coverage: furniture, clothing, electronics, and portable appliances. This must be purchased separately.
- Not covered by NFIP: vehicles, which need auto Comprehensive coverage; temporary living expenses; money; and most items in basements.
