April showers bring...flooding? Time to prepare with flood insurance

Posted

As April unfolds with its familiar rhythm of drizzles and downpours, we’re reminded of the beauty—and the unpredictability—of spring. But while April showers may promise blooming gardens and greener lawns, they also bring a serious concern many homeowners overlook: flooding.

Here in our area, the risk of flooding is more real than many realize. Heavy spring rains combined with saturated soil and rising rivers can turn a peaceful yard into a costly mess overnight. And sadly, standard homeowners insurance doesn’t cover flood damage. That’s why now, at the start of this rainy season, is the perfect time to ask yourself: Do I have flood insurance?

If the answer is no—or you’re unsure—it’s time to take action. Flood insurance isn’t just for those living along a riverbank or near the coast. One inch of water in your home can cause thousands of dollars in damage, and floods can happen anywhere.

Peter Toft, a partner at Nottingham Insurance in Yardley, knows the local risks well and is here to help. With his expertise and commitment to protecting the community, Peter can guide you through your flood insurance options, ensuring you’re not left high and dry when the rain really starts to pour.

Don’t gamble with your home, your belongings, or your peace of mind. Just like you grab your umbrella when clouds roll in, make sure your flood protection is in place before the next big storm hits.
