Flood Insurance in Hendersonville, TN—Coverage Your Home Policy Doesn’t Include

Homeowners Insurance Doesn’t Cover Flood—Flood Insurance Does

Flood damage isn’t covered by standard homeowners or renters insurance. Flood insurance is a separate policy designed to protect your home and belongings from rising water—whether it’s from heavy rain, drainage overflow, or nearby waterways. For homeowners in Hendersonville, Nashville, and surrounding communities, flood coverage can be a critical part of being storm-ready.
