Flood Insurance FAQ — Summerville
I'm not in a high-risk flood zone. Do I still need flood insurance?
We strongly recommend it. Charleston's tidal flooding, heavy summer rains, and aging stormwater infrastructure mean properties outside FEMA high-risk zones still face real flood exposure. Private flood policies can be surprisingly affordable for lower-risk areas.
What's the difference between NFIP and private flood insurance?
NFIP policies are backed by the federal government with standardized coverage limits of $250,000 for the dwelling and $100,000 for contents. Private flood policies often offer higher limits, replacement cost coverage, and additional living expenses that NFIP does not.
