Flood Insurance
Flooding can be caused by anything from rising ocean levels to lack of drainage for rainwater, but one thing is for sure, it can happen anywhere and you need to be prepared. For the most part, unless you’re right on the coast the ocean has very little to do with flooding issues. It has to do more with rain and proper drainage.
Even though you may think that flooding is covered by your Florida home insurance, it’s not. Home insurance can cover other types of water damage, but it will not cover water damage from flooding. That’s why you need a separate Florida flood insurance policy to cover your home against those types of damages.
As an independent insurance agency we want to give you the best flood coverage possible. Using our 360 Review Program we work with FEMA to make sure that you get coverage that works for your area. Different policies are offered for your risk-level. FEMA determines if you are at high or low risk by seeing how elevated above sea level your property lies. This determines the policy cost and rate.
Condo Insurance
Condos are similar to a house in a structural sense, but don’t have the same insurance plans. A big difference is that Florida condo insurance only covers the inside of the building and your personal contents. This is because part of the fees you pay for owning a condo go towards insuring the exterior. Florida condo insurance also has liability coverage for any injuries that occur within your condo.
Though you may not live in a part of Florida that’s as likely to get hit by a hurricane, it’s still something that you need to be aware of as a possibility. All around the coast of Florida are high wind zones, with speeds up to and over 160 miles per hour. Because of this, you need a Florida condo insurance policy that will cover you for these risks.
To make sure you have what you need, our licensed insurance advisors check all 57 companies we work with individually to make sure they’re reliable and appropriate for you. We make sure that they offer both windstorm and hurricane coverage, with a separate deductible. With Full Circle, we cover weather and non-weather damages for the interior of your condo like, but not limited to:
Fire, Windstorms, Hail, Lightening, Freezing of your plumbing, Theft
