Protect Your COASTAL HOME in North Carolina Today

Coastal homes face more than just hurricanes. Storm surge, tidal flooding, heavy rain, and rising water tables can all lead to significant flood damage, and standard homeowners insurance typically does not provide flood coverage. If you own a home near the coast, securing flood insurance is essential, not optional.

Why coastal homes need flood insurance:

- Storm surge can push water miles inland.

- Heavy rain events regularly overwhelm drainage systems.

- Tides and king tides increase flood frequency even on sunny days.

- One flood event can result in tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage.

Even homes that have never flooded before can experience flooding tomorrow. Past history does not diminish future risk.

Private flood insurance vs. NFIP flood policies:

Many coastal homeowners are surprised to learn they have more than one flood insurance option:

Private flood insurance may offer:

- Higher coverage limits.

- Replacement-cost options on contents.

- Shorter waiting periods.

- Competitive pricing for newer or elevated homes.

NFIP flood policies remain a solid option in certain situations, especially for higher-risk zones or older construction.

At Cold Mountain Insurance, we compare both private flood insurance and NFIP options to find the best fit for your home.

Yes! Flood insurance can still be affordable. Even along the coast, not all properties are rated the same. Factors like elevation, construction type, distance to water, and flood zone all matter. Some coastal homes qualify for surprisingly reasonable premiums, especially when properly rated and documented.
