"I was forced to buy Flood Insurance when I bought my home and to be honest, I bought it only because it was required. I never thought the street would flood and the water would rise 2 feet and come in the front entry and damage all my floors. I was lucky to be insured. I'm thankful it was required!"

Flood Insurance
Flood Insurance systems now utilize a new rating methodology which leverages industry best practices and cutting-edge technology to enable FEMA to deliver rates that are easy to understand and better reflect the individual flood risk. We partner with more than 50 insurance companies to offer the same affordable flood insurance rates throughout the nation.
Whether you live in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) as defined by FEMA or perhaps a lower risk area, HDA Insurance provides the specialized flood insurance you deserve to protect your home from rising water.
Although mortgage companies require Flood Insurance for homes located in a SFHA, flood insurance premium rates are much lower for homes located in a low-risk area. Homeowners Insurance often excludes damage from rising water, sporadic snowmelt damage and floodwaters.

Homeowners insurance policies typically exclude damage caused by floods. Floods are typically defined as rising exterior water levels causing damage to the home. Flood Insurance is necessary to cover the peril of Flood.
Flooding is a risk no matter where you live; perhaps it is much less likely if your home is a condominium unit located on the third floor of a building. Flood Insurance is very important; the premium for non high-risk areas is substantially lower; however, when a flood occurs, the damage is extremely costly and you’d wish you had bought insurance when faced with a loss.
A flood elevation certificate is a document used to confirm a building’s elevation in high-risk areas relative to the estimated height floodwaters will reach in the event of a major flood. It is usually signed and stamped by a Certified Engineer and filed in the County Engineering Office.
To get started, your name, address and an Elevation Certificate (if you have one). Flood Insurance policies are written nationwide and our systems will automatically check the flood zone and accordingly will provide the best available flood insurance quote.
