Basement Sump Pumps, Your Insurance Against Spring Flooding

April 20, 2011 - PRLog -- After a long cold winter most of us are welcoming spring time with open arms. This past winter was one of the countries coldest and snowiest on record, and certain cities such as New York City had such large snowfall amounts some people were saying that it would be mid Spring time before the snow melted. The snow now is melting, and coupled with the Spring rain brings a very common seasonal problem, flooding.

There are many locations, which on an annual bases experience major water flooding issues. This is problem is exacerbated by homes with a basement since this home space is used for a wide variety of things for your home such as appliance, play rooms, bedrooms, storage, and more. If you are luck when getting you home owner insurance policies you might added on to include flood insurance.  Unfortunately, the fact is that just about all standard home owners’ policies Does Not include flood insurance.

All natural disasters that effects our homes are emotionally, physically, and financially difficult to deal with but flooding is one of the most difficult ones. Not only hard on a family to recover from, according to recently published numbers about 80 percent of recent federally  declared disaster areas involve flooding. The government has developed a website to help people understand the issues with flooding, and the damage that it can cause. The FloodSmart web site has several tools people can use to see how vulnerable they are to floods, how much a flood costs and approximately how much it will cost to buy flood insurance. In places that are not at high risk, flood insurance is usually inexpensive, but it can become quite expensive in high risk zones. Flood insurance is required in high risk areas for any federally-back mortgage. The biggest issue with Home owners that do not have flood insurance is that it takes 30 days to go into effect. “It takes 30 days after purchase for a policy to take effect, so it's important to buy insurance before the floodwaters start to rise.” ( http://www.floodsmart.gov/floodsmart/ )

Although never too late to Flood insurance to your home owners policy, you need to remember that it will take 30 days after purchase to go into effect which puts us towards the end of the flood season. There is an alternative and  what could be called a small insurance policy against flood damage to your home and that is to use a basement sump pump.
