The Scope of Insurance Coverage on a Flooded Basement

Unless caused by a burst or a busted waterline, most homeowner’s insurance policy does not cover the damages incurred in a flooded basement.

Insurance companies have options or what you call “riders” that offers some covering for the unfortunately flooded basement. A “rider” is an additional set of agreement that rides on the basic package being offered. This gives the policy holder additional protection. On the financial side of it, it will cost an extra $150-200 per annum to your homeowner insurance policy payments. It will be well worth the money spent in the event of a flooded basement. It has to be noted however that the rider also has limits to its coverage. Majority of the policies nationwide usually covers the flooding if due to a sewer backup. Water that seeps from walls or cracks in the foundation and water getting in through the windows causing a flooded basement will likely not be covered. Because some geographical locations are deemed a flood zone by the Federal Emergency Management Emergency (FEMA), homeowners in these areas are required to obtain a different kind of insurance which is extremely expensive. The bright side of it is that it covers more than your usual insurance policy even with a rider included. No matter what insurance company your agent is from, it is sound advice to go through all the possible scenarios as far as the insurance policy coverage goes, putting flooded basement to the top of the list. Although insurance policy premiums are often high, they are in no comparison to the liability cost incurred without the benefit of one.

Damages from most natural disasters and calamities are covered by a homeowners’ insurance policy. Since damages resulting from floods due to earth quakes and poor maintenance are excluded from the coverage, the solution is flood insurance. Anyone can buy flood insurance if his/her property is located in a community that participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The NFIP is a Federal program which enables property owners in participating communities to obtain insurance as a protection against flood losses. In exchange, these areas must adhere to the State and community floodplain management regulations that reduce future flood damages. Flood insurance provides protection on the damage caused by rising water or mud flow. It provides protection to your home as well the contents. Once your community is in the NFIP, you are able to purchase flood insurance even after your home, apartment, or business has been flooded. Flood insurance is available for the structural value minus its land value. Contents coverage is available but optional and the contents of a flooded basement will not be covered.

The building structures that are eligible for flood insurance are houses, condos, apartments, and business structures. People who do not own a home but instead rent may purchase flood insurance for their possessions. The premium rate for flood insurance applies to all insurers because these premiums are mandated by the U.S. government. Premiums can also be paid with a Visa or MasterCard and are due on an annual basis. Claims are paid from the premiums paid by the insurance policy holders. Flood insurance is the best way to reduce the cost of a flooded basement.
