Frequently Asked Questions from Homeowners

Am I required to have flood insurance in Myrtle Beach?

If you have a mortgage on the home and it is located in the A or V Flood zone, the bank will require you to purchase Flood Insurance. Since 30% of Floods happen in Non-Flood zones, it is an affordable investment to protect your property, even if the home is not in a rated zone.

What types of flood insurance are there for Myrtle Beach?

There are Private Flood Insurance Companies who offer coverage, as well as, coverage with a FEMA Flood Policy. Private flood will cover the home, for the full replacement cost. A FEMA policy will cover up to $250,000, on any one dwelling. You can also purchase Commercial Flood coverage, for a commercial building.

Are winds covered with homeowners insurance in Myrtle Beach?

Yes, many insurance companies offer Wind & Hail coverage on a Homeowners policy, even if the home is Ocean front. So the peril of wind/hail will be covered.

What should I know about hurricane coverage in Myrtle Beach?

Named storm coverage or Hurricane coverage, has a different type of deductible. It is always a percentage deductible, such as 2%, 3%, 5% or 10%. It is not a percentage of the damage cost, but a percentage of what your home is insured for. A $400,000 home with a 5% hurricane deductible, will have a $20,000 deductible. That can create a large out of pocket expense, so you should always discuss the exact deductible you are purchasing, with your agent.

If I live in Murrells Inlet, should I have mold coverage in my homeowners policy?

Yes, anytime you live in a humid climate, mold coverage is needed, as that is, a common peril. Ask your agent to verify the policy covers mold and what your limit is. If you do not have it, ask if it can be added.
