Our WYO flood clients only allow for contents manipulation if they carry contents coverage. Cost to move contents around the house (not to storage facilities) is paid under the building coverage but we can not include it in our estimates if homeowner has not bought contents coverage. In addition contents in non-covered areas (basements, lowest floors of elevated structures in high hazard zones) are never covered for manipulation. If a basement full of contents floods, there is no coverage to remove the contents debris even if insured has contents coverage. It pays not only to know the policy but how NFIP interpets it.... |
