Does homeowners insurance cover flood damage?

Many homeowners policies exclude flood caused by rising surface water. The answer depends on the policy wording and water source; separate flood insurance may be available. Check the property on FEMA's map and read the exact policy.

Answer 05

Which counties are included in this Central Texas directory?

This directory follows the 36 counties listed in the State of Texas Central Texas regional profile. The boundary organizes local facts; it does not guarantee a particular insurance product is available at every address.

Answer 06

Can Ron compare Farmers with other insurance carriers?

Answer 07

Does a calculator result tell me how much insurance to buy?

No. The worksheets organize information or compare a stated scenario. They do not use insurer rating data, predict a claim, evaluate a policy or recommend a coverage amount.

What should I do after home damage?

If it is safe, prevent additional damage, document the scene and contact the insurer using the number on your policy or its official app. Ask about emergency repairs, documentation, deadlines and your deductible before authorizing non-emergency work.
