In the state of Florida, flooding is a critical risk. Considering the state is a peninsula surrounded by ocean and possessing much swampland, both the inland and the coast are at risk of flooding. Furthermore, it seems just as hurricane season is over, there’s those pesky King Tides to worry about. Insurance to cover this unfortunate possibility is not generally provided in a homeowner’s policy, and thus it must be purchased separately.
Depending on where a home is located, you may be required to purchase flood insurance as a condition of a mortgage. That’s where we, the good people of Great South Insurance Agency, come in to help you to find the flood insurance policy that suits you best! We understand your flood insurance needs, being as we are located in beautiful St. Petersburg, FL, right on the Gulf Coast. Yes, even in the Sunshine City a little rain must fall.

If you live in one of those houses, you’re actively urged to get insurance to cover property loss or damage before the worst happens.
