Stay Protected When Waters Rise

South Carolina Flood Coverage

From tropical systems along the coast to heavy inland rainfall, South Carolina homeowners understand that flooding can strike anywhere – often when it’s least expected. Standard homeowners insurance doesn’t cover flood damage, leaving many properties at risk. That’s why our private flood endorsement is designed to work seamlessly with your existing policy, providing affordable, reliable protection when you need it most.

A Common Threat

Flooding Can Happen Anywhere

Flooding is the most frequent and expensive natural disaster in the United States, and it can happen anywhere. Even homes outside designated flood zones face the risk: just a few days of heavy rain or a slow-moving storm can lead to serious damage to your property and personal belongings.

Comprehensive Protection Beyond the NFIP

Our private flood endorsement provides broader protection, lower rates, and immediate coverage, without the 30-day waiting period required by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Even better, it’s fully accepted by mortgage lenders, so you can secure peace of mind without the delay. At American Integrity, we go beyond standard flood insurance with a private solution built for convenience, value, and lasting protection.
