Protect Your Home With Flood Insurance in Missouri!

After a heavy rain during childhood, there was a moment of watching rubber boots fill a bedroom and an inflatable 90s chair float right out the door. It looked almost funny at the time, drifting past in the floodwater. But once the water rose and the cleanup began, the situation quickly became serious for the family.

According to the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL), floods are the most common natural disaster. They can happen quickly and cause significant damage.

Floodwater doesn’t just ruin belongings like photos, books, and electronics—it can also seep into a home’s foundation and walls. If not properly dried, it can lead to mold and bacteria growth, causing further structural damage.

That’s why flood insurance is so important. It helps protect homeowners when unexpected flooding causes serious and costly damage.

Do I Need Flood Insurance in Missouri?

You might think that you’re covered through your home insurance, but most homeowners insurance policies don’t cover floods, apart from water damage caused by burst pipes.

Flooding can affect any area in the United States. Even areas declared low-risk experience flooding. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), 26% of recent insurance claims for flooding in Missouri have come from moderate-to-low risk areas.

What Does Flood Insurance Cover?

Flood insurance is an addition to home insurance that covers the types of water damage that most homeowners insurance doesn’t. This includes damage caused by water that enters your home from the land, such as seeping through the foundation after building up on land or sweeping through, such as in a flash flood. 

Flood insurance can cover:

  • Your home (the building, foundation, plumbing, electrical, flooring, etc.)
  • Your property (the items inside your home, like furniture, electronics, water heaters, appliances, etc.)
  • Reimbursement of work done to salvage and clean up your home

Standard policies are often limited to $250,000 for the building and $100,000 for its contents, though additional coverage can be added. Policies can also be built to cover only the building, only the contents, or both. Contact G&G Insurance to create your custom flood insurance policy today! 

Why Flooding Is a Serious Risk in Missouri!

Flooding is unfortunately common in Missouri. According to the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), flooding is the deadliest natural disaster in the state. It can occur in localized areas or spread across large regions, sometimes even crossing state lines. Flash floods are the most dangerous, but slower-developing floods can also build over days or weeks.

According to FEMA, just a few inches of floodwater can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage. In the Midwest between 2006 and 2010, the average flood claim was about $34,000.

When Should I Buy Flood Insurance?

The best time to buy insurance is before you need it. In Missouri, most flood insurance policies include a 30-day waiting period before coverage begins, which means delaying could leave you exposed.

G&G Insurance helps you find the right coverage at a price that fits your budget. Our simple system lets you quickly compare rates and choose options that match your needs.

How Much Does Flood Insurance Cost in Missouri?

In Missouri, many areas are covered by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Some people opt to choose private insurance companies to create a plan that works better for their needs. In Missouri, coverage under the NFIP can average around $1100 a year; however, rates may be lower in lower-risk areas.

If you’d like to look at policies available to you, contact G&G Insurance to see what your options are for flood insurance in Missouri.
