Home insurance risks in San Antonio
Flood insurance in San Antonio
Compared to other states, Texas homeowners may need to be particularly worried about floods. This is especially important because traditional homeowners insurance doesn’t provide coverage for flood damage, although you can buy it in order to protect your home and belongings from storm surges.
Additionally, flood insurance is required by anyone living with a mortgage in a high-risk flood zone. Even if you don’t have a mortgage or live in a moderate-risk area, it’s still worth considering.
Flood insurance is available through some private companies, as well as from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Your current insurance company should be able to help you find a policy that works for you.
