Garage door, Dryer and Flood Insurance
 

My house was flooded thanks to the big storm in the NYC area. A flood
insurance adjuster will come to my house next week.

I've read an article about what is covered and what is not. However, it is
not clear whether my garage door (attached garage) & laundry room dryer are
covered. FYI, I have dwelling coverage only.

you are screwed:( dwelling coverage does not cover floods, you would
need seperate flood insurance:( flood insurance is a seperate federal
program.

sorry to give you bad news, how much damage did it do?

creek rise or just rain pour in?

Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I do have flood insurance that covers my
property, not my personal belongings.

Doesn't your insurance policy define Dwelling somewhere?

We can't answer that, since we can't see your policy from here.
You have to read it to see what is covered, or ask your insurance agent.

Typically nothing is covered but structural damage to the house, but yours
might not be typical.
