Is flood damage covered by my homeowners policy?
Generally no, standard homeowners excludes flood from outside. You need a separate flood policy through the NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program) or private flood carrier. If a sewer backed up under a covered policy endorsement, that part may be covered. Sudden internal water (burst pipe inside the home) is covered under standard homeowners. We document what caused what.
Why is flood water treated as contaminated?
Flood water carries everything it has touched: yard runoff, street oil, pesticides, sewer overflow, animal waste. The IICRC S500 standard classifies any flood water from outside as Category 3 (black water) regardless of how clean it looks. That's why everything porous below the water line, drywall, insulation, carpet pad, has to come out, not just dry in place.
