Here in California, a homeowner's insurance policy doesn't cover water damage that is caused by flood waters that enter your home. This type of storm damage is covered if you have a separate flood insurance policy. With flooding being the most common and most expensive natural disaster in the United States, having a separate policy for flooding can provide peace of mind knowing you are prepared. You can get more information by speaking with your current homeowner's insurance company.

According to Bob Vila, the national average for water damage restoration repairs costs homeowners around $3,291. We can firmly say no one wants to spend that amount of money on an unplanned crisis, which should play a part in your decision for purchasing flood insurance.
