Flooding in the Lowcountry

Flood Insurance

Floods are the most common and costly natural disaster in the US — and your homeowners policy doesn't cover them.

Standard homeowners insurance does NOT cover flood damage. A separate policy is required — and there's a 30-day waiting period, so don't wait until a storm is approaching.

What It Covers

Flood insurance covers damage caused by rising water — storm surge, overflowing rivers and lakes, heavy rain runoff, and more.

  • Structure of your home (walls, floors, foundation, HVAC)
  • Electrical and plumbing systems
  • Appliances and water heaters
  • Carpeting and built-in furniture
  • Personal belongings (furniture, electronics, clothing)
  • Cleanup and restoration costs

Critical for Coastal Living

Charleston, Savannah, Wilmington, and surrounding coastal communities are among the most flood-prone areas in the US. Hurricane season brings storm surge. Spring brings heavy rain. Even areas miles from the coast can flood from inland waterways.

Anya helps homeowners across SC, GA, and NC understand their flood risk and find the right coverage — NFIP or private — at the best available rate.
