Just an inch of water can cause thousands of dollars of damage to your home insurance policies don't cover damage from rising water. Protect yourself with a Flood Policy from AAA Insurance.
According to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), nearly 20% of all flood insurance claims are made by homeowners living in areas considered a low risk for a flood. That means regardless of whether your mortgage company required you to purchase flood insurance, your home is in a flood zone. And that’s why AAA Insurance offers affordable flood coverage designed to protect your valuable asset.
It’s a common misconception that homeowners insurance covers flood damage. But the truth is, only flood insurance covers flood damage. Without it, the cost of the damage comes out of your pocket.
