One of the most common misconceptions about home insurance is that it covers flooding. Home insurance may not cover the flooding caused by heavy amounts of rain or rivers or creeks spilling over their banks. In order to protect your home and belongings from this type of event, you need to purchase a flood insurance policy. Here at Armadillo Insurance Agency, serving the greater Austin, TX area, we want to help you select the right policy.<\/p>\n

Here are a few of the factors you should be considering as you go about buying flood insurance. <\/h2>\n

Your Home’s Flood Risk Designation<\/h3>\n

One of the first things that you need to consider when you are looking to purchase flood insurance is your home’s flood risk designation. The higher your flood risk designation is, the more likely your home may flood, and the more costly flood insurance will cost. An insurance agent can work with you to determine the flood risk designation for your home. <\/p>\n

What the Flood Insurance Policy Covers<\/h3>\n

The second important factor that you need to consider when purchasing flood insurance is what exactly the policy you are buying covers. Flood insurance may be designated as building only, meaning it only covers your home, or it may be designated as building and contents coverage, meaning it covers your home, as well as the contents inside of your home. <\/p>\n
