Standard property policies do not cover flooding, and it only takes one inch of water. Get covered before the next storm. Free quote in minutes.
Flooding is one of the most common and costly natural disasters in Texas. Standard homeowners’ insurance policies do not cover flood damage, which means property owners generally need a separate flood insurance policy for flood-related losses.
At TIA-Texas Insurance Agency, we help Texas homeowners, landlords, and business owners secure flood insurance coverage that protects their property, belongings, and financial stability.
Flood insurance is a separate policy that helps cover property damage caused by flooding, such as overflowing rivers, storm surge, flash flooding, or water that accumulates quickly and enters your property. In some cases, certain sewer or drain backups may also be covered if they are directly caused by a flood.
Flood insurance is often available through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), a federal program managed by FEMA in participating communities. Depending on the property and location, private flood insurance options may also be available.
Flood insurance can help protect the building and, if selected, its contents. Coverage may include:
Building coverage protects the core structure that would otherwise be expensive to repair out-of-pocket.
Separate limits apply to building and contents coverage, so selecting proper amounts is important.
Flood policies have specific exclusions, and understanding them prevents claim misunderstandings. Certain types of damage require additional coverage or may not be insurable.
Flood insurance typically does not cover:
Our agents review policy details carefully to ensure you understand coverage limitations.
Flooding can occur in both high-risk and moderate-to-low-risk zones. Even properties outside designated flood zones may experience significant water damage during severe storms. In Texas, flood risk is not limited to high-risk areas, which is why many property owners choose coverage even when it is not required by a lender.
Flood insurance is especially important for:
Lenders typically require flood insurance when a property is located in a high-risk flood area.
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) provides government-backed flood insurance coverage to participating communities. Policies are standardized, meaning coverage terms and limits are consistent nationwide.
NFIP policies typically offer:
There is generally a 30-day waiting period before coverage becomes effective, unless required for a new mortgage. Private flood insurance may offer higher limits or additional coverage options depending on eligibility.
Texas experiences hurricanes, tropical storms, flash floods, and heavy rainfall events that can cause widespread property damage. Even a few inches of water can result in thousands of dollars in repair costs.
Flood insurance helps:
Without flood coverage, repair costs must be paid out-of-pocket.

Most flood insurance policies, especially those through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), have a 30-day waiting period before coverage becomes effective. Exceptions may apply for new mortgage requirements.
For residential properties, the NFIP typically provides up to:

Yes. Flood insurance is available in moderate- and low-risk areas. In fact, many flood claims come from properties outside high-risk zones.
