A flooded road and a barricade are a common sight after heavy Florida rain, and this is one of the most common misunderstandings we hear. Homeowners insurance and flood insurance are built to handle different risks. Damage from rising water usually falls under a separate flood policy, which is worth knowing before the water reaches your driveway. Flood risk in Tampa Bay is not limited to waterfront addresses either, since drainage and rainfall affect neighborhoods well inland. Dockside Insurance helps Tampa Bay clients understand their coverage before they need it.
