What flood covers
- Building: up to $250k NFIP / up to $5M private — foundation, walls, floors, electrical, plumbing, HVAC
- Contents: up to $100k NFIP / up to $500k private — furniture, clothes, electronics
- Includes debris removal and loss avoidance (sandbags)
- Private includes loss of use and pool repair — NFIP does not. That is a big advantage.
Two types we offer in CA — we recommend private
- A. NFIP / FEMA (gov): max $250k / $100k | 30-day wait | Accepted by all lenders. Pricing uses FEMA Risk Rating 2.0 — distance to water, elevation.
- B. Private flood (often cheaper and better): max $5M / $500k | wait 7–14 days only
- Private includes loss of use $50k+ and other structures | Usually 30–50% cheaper than NFIP
- Accepted by 99% of lenders in CA

California-specific — very important
- After wildfire = about 5× flood risk for 5 years — burned hills don’t absorb rain
- 30-day wait: you cannot buy flood when it rains — buy now
- For escrow: if you are buying in Zone A/V, the lender requires flood before closing — we issue same-day
- An elevation certificate in Zone A/V can save thousands — we help
