Do You Have Flood Insurance? - Marion 02738

Wondering why you should purchase flood insurance for your home or office? It’s easy to think that homeowner’s or renter’s insurance covers flooding disasters, but did you know that this kind of coverage is sold separately? In high-risk flood areas, when purchasing a home,  you are required to have a flood insurance policy in place before the loan can close! There is no “grace period” for this policy if your lender requires it. However, even if you don’t live in a high-risk flood zone, it’s still important to have flood insurance as more than 20% of flood claims come from properties outside of risk zones. 

Living in the coastal areas of Marion and Mattapoisett, SERVPRO of Marion/Middleborough is familiar with the importance of having the right coverage to ensure that you’re insured for any kind of disaster. Here are some additional resources from FEMA to consider when shopping for flood insurance.
