Property damage due to flooding are mostly due to unexpected changes and situations that have disastrous results and costly repairs in the offering. Most insurance companies sell policies that cover costs associated with flooding caused due to

  • Hurricanes
  • Tropical storms
  • Heavy rains
  • Faulty plumbing
  • Burst pipes and pipelines
