If you’re a Myrtle Beach resident facing flood damage, insurance coverage is probably at the forefront of your mind. Every policy is different. However, most homeowners insurance policies cover water damage from internal sources like plumbing or appliance malfunctions but do not cover flooding from external sources like storms. You can opt to get flood insurance in addition to your homeowner's insurance.

The Myrtle Beach area is especially prone to flooding. Our local flood damage experts recommend getting flood insurance to ensure you’re covered in the case of flooding from rain, tropical storms, hurricanes, and storm surges.

Flood damage happens when external water enters your home or business. In the Myrtle Beach area, flood damage is often caused by hurricanes, heavy rain, or other precipitation that falls faster than soil and bodies of water can absorb it.

Flooding is also sometimes used to refer to water damage events like broken pipes, toilet overflows, or dishwasher malfunctions that leave standing water around your property.

As a general rule, floodwater that enters your property from outside should be considered contaminated and dangerous. Floodwaters come in contact with a variety of dangerous bacteria and substances as they move. Floodwater may be contaminated by bacteria, viruses, animal waste, oil, and other dangerous materials and viruses. Because of this, it’s important to avoid coming in touch with floodwater and areas contaminated by floodwater without the right protective equipment.

Fortunately, our team of expert flood damage specialists knows what steps to take to restore your home or business after it's harmed by floodwaters.
