Why Flood Insurance Matters in West Palm Beach
Many homeowners believe their standard home insurance policy covers flooding, but in most cases, it does not. Floods caused by heavy rain, hurricanes, or rising groundwater require a separate flood insurance policy. West Palm Beach is particularly vulnerable due to its coastal location, storm patterns, and proximity to canals and the Intracoastal Waterway, making this coverage essential. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), even one inch of water in your home can cause more than $25,000 in damage. That’s why having flood coverage with Machi’s Group is critical for protecting your financial future.
How Our Flood Insurance Works: Coverage and Requirements
Our flood insurance policies are designed to help you recover quickly after a disaster. When you file a claim with Machi’s Group, you’ll receive coverage for:
Structural Damage to Your Home or Building: This protects the foundation, walls, ceilings, stairways, and essential systems such as electrical and plumbing.
Personal Possessions Coverage: Safeguards your furniture, electronics, clothing, appliances, and valuables damaged or destroyed by floodwaters.
Business Property Losses: If you own a commercial building or run a business from home, specialized flood insurance provides coverage for inventory, equipment, and other contents.
Debris Removal and Clean-Up: Covers the cost of removing flood-related debris to make your home safe for repairs.
Lender Requirements: The Mandate for Coverage
If your home is in a high-risk flood zone (known as a Special Flood Hazard Area or SFHA) and you have a government-backed mortgage, federal law mandates that you carry flood insurance. Lenders require this to protect their financial investment. Even if you are not in a high-risk zone, the risk still exists, and some private lenders may still require it. Machi’s Group can help you determine your FEMA flood zone and ensure you meet all legal requirements.
