Protecting Your Home From Flood Damage

Flood damage can devastate your home and property. Understanding flood insurance and how to protect your home from flood damage is critical, especially in New Orleans where flooding is common.

Flood Insurance

Standard homeowners insurance typically doesn't cover flood damage. Separate flood insurance policies are available through the National Flood Insurance Program and private insurers.

Protecting Your Home

Elevate your home, install flood barriers, ensure proper drainage, and maintain your roof and gutters. These steps reduce flood risk and may lower your insurance premiums.

Filing a Claim

Document flood damage with photos and videos. Report the damage promptly to your insurer and keep detailed records of repair costs.
