Affordable inland flood coverage for Virginia homes*

Many other homeowners policies do not cover water damage from inland flooding. Our Inland Flood Endorsement fills the gap by adding flood protection to your NNINS homeowners policy. The endorsement is available to qualifying homes in low-to-moderate risk areas. For just a few dollars per month, you can add inland flood coverage to your existing Northern Neck Insurance homeowner, dwelling fire, condo, and mobile home policy. Bundling your policy can help you save money while staying protected.

What is an inland flood?

  • When inland streams or rivers overflow and inundate normally dry land
  • Unusual, rapid rain accumulation, runoff, or snowmelt that doesn’t drain away or soak into the ground
  • When water carries mud and becomes a mudflow
  • Important disclaimer: Inland flood coverage is not a substitute for the National Flood Insurance Program.

One size does not fit all.

Inland homes in low-to-moderate risk areas are typically not covered by federal flood insurance. But flooding affects inland homes for many reasons, including heavy rain, snowmelt, overflowing streams, and bad drainage areas. In fact, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), from 2014 to 2018, policyholders outside of high-risk flood areas filed over 40% of all flood insurance claims.

  • Residence and certain other structures (e.g., shed, pool house)
