Important: Be Careful Using the Word “Flood” With the Insurance Company
Did you know that how you describe hurricane damages to your property may be entirely different than how an insurance company views them? If you are not speaking their language, it could cost you – big time.
Some people make the mistake of referring to any water damage to their property as “flooding.” But there’s an important distinction that should be made. Using the words “flood” or “flooding” may make recovering damages from your insurance company more difficult for you. Many people do not have flood insurance on their property. However, most people are typically insured for damages caused by wind and rain.
To be safe, it’s best to use the term “water damages” when speaking to anyone acting in an official insurance capacity, until you can ascertain what caused the damages.
