Better Flood Insurance has been amazing to work with! I bought a riverfront property a couple of years ago that is in a floodplain expecting that I could get flood insurance at a similar rate as the existing homeowner. I ended up finding a policy for about $1,600 but then it was canceled after a year. The following year I found one for about $3,400 which also just came up for cancellation. I have been so stressed because the NFIP policy was quoting me over $10,000 for the property. Better Flood went above and beyond to do research and find a way for me to be grandfathered into the NFIP policy with a rate of about $1,400 a year. Talk about a big relief! I was so close to having to sell the property due to the super-high rates! Thank you so much for all you have done to find me the best insurance policy at a great rate! Thanks, Matt

Flood Nerds did a great job for us! They know the ins and outs of Flood Insurance which is required to navigate the particular complexities of this kind of insurance. Their deep knowledge of this area of insurance ended up saving us a considerable amount of money, and we’re most appreciative. They are also quick and efficient and got the job done with a tight deadline to support our loan application. I recommend Mr. Murphy AKA the Flood Nerd without a single reservation. Bravo!

Private Flood Insurance versus the NFIP
Most people don’t realize there is a healthy private market for flood insurance. That’s because the federal government dominated the market for years. When you have no competition, you have no incentive to control costs.
When the government finally allowed competition, many of the big insurance companies like Allstate, Progressive, and State Farm started taking the NFIP policy and slapping their logo on it.
That’s not private insurance! And that’s not how to save money on flood insurance either!
The Flood Nerds know the REAL private flood insurance market. We know over 40 companies where we can shop to get you the good coverage and a good rate. We’ll even shop your policy through the Lloyds of London syndicates.
Then we compare those costs with the cost of the NFIP policy.
Private flood insurance policies can save you 20-50% over the government option.
It seems crazy that private flood insurance is cheaper, but that’s because most private flood insurance company have different underwriting practices, technology, and appetite for covering a property’s risk.
Do you have the time and energy to spend shopping for your flood coverage with every available insurance company? Of course not, unless you are a Flood Nerd.
Flood Nerds love to shop for flood insurance. We get an adrenaline rush and an endorphin high when we find cheap flood insurance and better flood insurance coverage for our clients.

Why You Need Flood Insurance
You don’t wait until the house is on fire to buy fire insurance. Even if your lender doesn’t require you to have flood insurance, you may still need it.
Your homeowner’s policy doesn’t cover damage from rising water. That’s the costliest damage to repair. The average damage from a flood is $35,000.
One uncovered flood can wipe you out financially. It’s why so many houses are abandoned and foreclosed upon after a major flood.

How to Reduce the Cost of Flood Insurance
- Start researching all 40 private flood insurance carriers.
- Get frustrated and confused.
- Contact a Flood Nerd for a free quote and let them do the work.
- If your home’s flood map changes, buy your policy within 9 months of the map change to benefit from heavily subsidized NFIP premiums.
- When buying a home that needs flood insurance, always ask the seller for a copy of the flood policy Declaration page. If they have a subsidized policy, a real flood insurance agent (a Flood Nerd!) can get you that same rate.
- Adding an elevation certificate may help.
- Flood vents may change the base elevation.
- Talk to a Flood Nerd about flood mitigation strategies.
Changes to Your Property Can Lower Your Flood Risk
- Elevating machinery or equipment above the base flood elevation (BFE).
- BFE is how high the government says the floodwaters will go in the event of flooding.
- When these items are below the BFE, you might pay a surcharge.
- If your home is elevated either over a garage, enclosure, or crawlspace, consider adding flood vents. This takes the lowest floor out of the flood insurance rating consideration. But there’s a trick for this to work. The square inches of the holes must be equal to or greater than the square feet of the vented area. There are engineered flood vents that can be smaller openings but let more water pass under your living area.
- Although this doesn’t affect flood insurance rates. You should consider flood damage-resistant materials, elevating machinery, and other techniques that can keep your home safer.
- In extreme cases, you might want to reconsider the location of your house. Elevating your building may be expensive, but in some cases, you may qualify for government grants. If your home can’t be elevated then check out this link to see if this is an option for you.
- Elevating your home 3 feet above the BFE can save up to 60% or more on your annual flood insurance premium. If you are 1 foot above the BFE it saves 30%. Here is a great resource to see if this option would work for you.
- Sometimes your community can do some FEMA flood mitigation that will allow you to get community discounts. See if your community has discounts here.
