Floods
Flooding is a temporary overflow of water onto land that is normally dry. Floods are the most common natural disaster in the United States. Failing to evacuate flooded areas or entering flood waters can lead to injury or death.
Floods may:
- Result from rain, snow, coastal storms, storm surges and overflows of dams and other water systems.
- Develop slowly or quickly. Flash floods can come with no warning.
- Cause outages, disrupt transportation, damage buildings and create landslides.
Fast Melting Snow is one of the top causes for commercial flooding. You experience moderate rainfall in the spring. A nearby stream overflows from rainfall, flowing into your place of business and causes flood damage. Your business basement floods from construction runoff next to your building and damages equipment and inventory.
Faulty or leaky appliances, burst pipes, and damages that are not repaired promptly are all common causes of flooding. The low laying areas in your home such as foundation or basement are often more susceptible to flooding.
