Flood insurance
The Gulf-coast coverage you can’t skip.
In St. Petersburg, water is the lifestyle — and the risk most policies quietly leave out. Flood insurance is the coverage coastal homeowners can’t afford to go without.
The common gap
The gap almost everyone has.
Standard homeowners insurance does not cover flood damage — and on this coast, flooding is not a rare event.
Whether you’re in a high-risk zone or simply near the water like most of us, Tyler helps you understand your flood risk and put the right policy in place before storm season — not after.
What it covers
What flood insurance protects.
Building property
Foundation, walls, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and built-in appliances.
Contents coverage
Furniture, electronics, and belongings damaged by rising water.
Storm surge & named-storm water
The coastal flooding a standard home policy simply won’t touch.
Debris removal
Helps with the cleanup costs after floodwater recedes.
Why it matters here
A few inches of water, tens of thousands in damage.
It doesn’t take a hurricane — heavy rain, king tides, and surge all push water where it doesn’t belong. Flood policies also carry a typical 30-day waiting period, which is exactly why the time to put one in place is well before the forecast.
Good to know
A few things worth knowing about flood.
Flood works differently than your other coverage. Here’s what Tyler wants every coastal client to understand.
- Standard home policies exclude flood
- Policies have a typical 30-day waiting period
- High-risk zones may require it for a mortgage
- Both building and contents can be covered
- Even “low-risk” areas flood
- Tyler can check your property’s flood zone
