Flood Insurance Claims Help

What to do after a flood, how the claims process works, and where to report your claim.

First Steps After Flooding

Filing a flood insurance claim can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re dealing with property damage and time-sensitive decisions. Taking the right steps early can help protect your claim and reduce unnecessary delays.

Before contacting your insurer, make sure it is safe to return to the property. Document the damage thoroughly and avoid making permanent repairs until your claim has been reviewed or approved.

  • Make sure the property is safe before entering
  • Take photos and videos of all visible damage
  • Separate damaged items by room if possible
  • Keep receipts for temporary or emergency repairs
