About South Carolina Flood Insurance

August 2008 saw Tropical Storm Fay unleash unimaginable rainfall on the state of Florida, especially the Melbourne area on the east coast. The employees of a property and casualty insurance company in the area experienced the devastating effects first hand and realized that Florida, as well as throughout the United States, was in dire need of flood insurance. Once Florida Flood Insurance, Inc, and its parent company National Flood Insurance, LLC, were launched, growth to other states followed, including to South Carolina.

South Carolina Flood Insurance began serving South Carolina residents in 2010 and is pleased to be a flood insurance industry leader. Its mission is to make purchasing flood insurance as hassle-free as possible, while striving to educate its clients about the floods and flood-insurance basics, and provide outstanding customer service to the residents and business owners of The Palmetto State.

We saw a Great Need for Flood Insurance

There are many things to consider when purchasing a home or business, but far too often flood insurance coverage is overlooked. Since South Carolina has a history of flood damage from flash floods, tropical storms, hurricanes, and strong thunderstorms, protecting lives and valuable material assets is paramount. Between 1901 and 2009, at least 27 hurricanes have impacted South Carolina, 8 of which were between a Category 2 and a Category 4, all of which caused severe damage.

It does not, however, take storms of such intensity to cause immense damage. As little as an inch of water can cause damage costing sometimes thousands of dollars in repair bills. Such damage can take years to repair. Additionally, secondary costs in the form of temporary shelter or business locations and lost revenue can add up quickly.

Please don’t overlook flood insurance. The time to act is before a flood event occurs. The flood insurance specialists at South Carolina Flood Insurance can help navigate the complexities and provide education about flood insurance which is integral to safeguarding lives and to protecting valuable material assets.
