Flood

The average American home is more likely to suffer damage from flooding than from fire—and you don’t have to live near a body of water for flooding to affect you. Nearly a quarter of all flood claims happen in other areas. Flooding can result from various causes including storm surge associated with hurricanes and tropical storms, sudden downpours and flash flooding, prolonged rainfall or rapid snowmelt, water main breaks, and more.

Client advocacy in action

Basement flood creates coverage questions

A client’s basement flooded after an intense storm, prompting them to file a claim with their insurer. The insurer initially denied coverage for the client’s damaged basement, stating the water loss was due to flooding, which is not covered on a standard homeowners policy. Thankfully, the client had secured flood and excess flood coverage through their MMA PCS personal risk advisor. After an additional review of the loss between the carrier and the MMA PCS Claims team, the cost to refinish the basement was covered by the client’s flood policies, saving them thousands of dollars in repair costs.
