Excess Flood
Offered by Orchid Insurance
Flood Excess Flood Specialty Programs Personal Lines Commercial InsuranceDescription
Water damage from flooding happens more often than you might think. Floods are the #1 disaster in the U.S. and occur in all flood zones. Excess Flood insurance covers you when a federal flood policy or private flood policy isn’t enough. For example, in the event of a loss, once you have exhausted the NFIP limit of $250,000, the Excess Flood limit begins to apply.
Excess Flood also helps cover additional costs on contents after the $100,000 coverage is used up. While standard flood is available through the NFIP, protection with Orchid’s Excess Flood means your client is covered above and beyond where others draw the line.
