Flood Insurance Review in Bedford, Manchester, Nashua, Merrimack & Goffstown, NH
Flooding isn’t just a coastal issue. In Southern NH, heavy rain, drainage problems, basement exposure, snowmelt, and changing flood maps can create expensive damage. Standard homeowners insurance typically does not cover flood damage. The Mello Agency helps Bedford-area homeowners and buyers understand flood insurance options before a storm or a closing deadline forces a rushed decision.

Start with your risk + your deadline
- Buying/refinancing? Lenders may require flood insurance and specific proof language.
- Finished basement? Below-grade exposure changes what you should clarify.
- Near water/drainage issues? Flood maps aren’t the whole story.

FAQ
Do I need flood insurance if I’m not in a high-risk zone?
Not always—but many losses happen outside high-risk zones. It’s worth reviewing if you have a basement, nearby water, or drainage concerns.
Is flood the same as water backup?
No. Flood (rising water) is usually separate from water backup (sump/sewer). We’ll help you avoid assuming one covers the other.
When should I buy flood insurance?
Before closing, before storm season, or as soon as a lender requires it. Waiting periods can apply.
