The Best Flood Insurance in the Lowcountry
Standard homeowners insurance never covers flood damage — not storm surge, not a swollen creek, not marsh water pushing further inland than expected. Coastal Haven Insurance helps Lowcountry homeowners get flood coverage through the National Flood Insurance Program or private carriers, matched to their home’s actual flood zone. Call (843) 507-5072 for a free flood insurance quote — most policies take about 30 days to take effect, so timing matters ahead of storm season.
Why Every Home In Lowcountry Needs This Conversation
Every property in the country sits in some FEMA-designated flood zone. Homes in A or V zones typically have a mortgage-required flood policy; homes in B, C, or X zones aren’t required to carry one, but that doesn’t mean the risk is zero — it just means the decision is yours rather than your lender’s.
NFIP vs. Private Flood Insurance
NFIP policies cap out at $250,000 for the dwelling and $100,000 for personal property. Private flood markets can offer higher limits or different terms for homes that need more coverage than the federal program provides. We compare both rather than defaulting to one.

Answers to Common Flood Insurance Questions
Is my home actually in a flood zone?
Every property sits in some FEMA-designated flood zone — the real question isn’t whether, it’s which one, and whether your lender requires coverage because of it.
How long before a new flood policy takes effect?
Most NFIP policies carry a standard 30-day waiting period before coverage begins, so it’s worth buying ahead of hurricane season rather than during a storm watch.
What’s the maximum flood coverage available?
NFIP policies cap at $250,000 for the dwelling and $100,000 for personal property; private flood insurance can offer higher limits for homes that need them.
