Frequently Asked Questions About Flood Insurance
Does homeowners insurance cover flooding in Maryland?
Standard homeowners insurance generally does not cover flooding caused by rising water, storm surge, overflowing waterways, or surface water entering the property. Separate flood insurance is generally needed.
Do I need flood insurance if I am not in a high risk flood zone?
Flooding can occur outside areas designated as high risk. A lender may not require flood insurance in a lower risk zone, but the property can still experience flood damage. Homeowners, landlords, renters, and condo owners should review their individual exposure.
How long does it take for flood insurance to become effective?
National Flood Insurance Program policies typically have a 30 day waiting period, although exceptions apply in certain mortgage, map revision, and coverage renewal situations. Private flood policy waiting periods may differ.
What does flood insurance cover?
Flood insurance may offer separate building and contents coverage. Covered property, limits, basement restrictions, deductibles, exclusions, and replacement cost provisions depend on the policy and whether coverage is issued through the National Flood Insurance Program or a private insurer.
Can renters and condo owners buy flood insurance?
Yes. Renters may purchase contents coverage. Condo owners may need coverage for personal property, interior improvements, and gaps in the condominium association’s flood policy. The appropriate structure depends on the association’s master coverage and the owner’s responsibilities.
