Flood Insurance
Just an inch of water in your home or building can be devastating. More than an inch can be life-changing. Flooding is typically excluded by most homeowner and commercial property policies. However, this important coverage can be purchased through a federal government program administered by various insurance companies. FIFS can help you determine your flooding exposure and assist in obtaining coverage. Contact FIFS if you are in a flood zone or if you simply have questions about flooding potential.
