From heavy rain to unexpected storms, non-coastal regions can experience severe flood damage that leads to costly repairs. This makes comprehensive flood insurance essential for homeowners. To highlight the importance of this coverage, let's look at some real-life examples from Chubb's latest claims stories.
An intense storm hit a non-coastal town, causing a nearby river to overflow. The resulting floodwater pushed open a home's basement door, inundating the interior. The water damaged carpets, drywall, insulation, paint, cabinets, baseboards, and even a pool table and family heirloom furniture. Chubb quickly assessed the damage and confirmed coverage under the client’s flood policy, enabling prompt restoration and recovery.

A hurricane brought heavy rain to another non-coastal area, submerging homes in water. One client's unfinished basement suffered extensive damage, necessitating the replacement of flooring, the hot water tank, furnace, and electrical panel. The first floor required new hardwood and tile flooring, kitchen appliances, cabinets, and plaster walls due to elevated moisture levels. The garage's overhead door was also destroyed. Chubb responded promptly, recognizing the damage and providing an estimate to start repairs immediately.
