Water may be a crucial component of life on this planet, but too much water can also cause a tremendous amount of trouble. This fact is especially true inside your own home, and without the proper protection, you could end up in some pretty hot water yourself.
Learn how to avoid a potentially devastating experience by identifying the flood risks where you live. Find out whether your home is in a flood zone and if you're required or encouraged to carry flood zone insurance.
|What are the dangers of flooding?
Water in your residence can damage or destroy more than your belongings — it can also lead to dangerous mold outbreaks and even cause structural damage that renders your home unsafe or uninhabitable. If you've ever experienced the damage just a few inches of standing water from a burst pipe can produce, it's easy to imagine the extensive harm that a full-on flood can deliver.
