What is commercial flood insurance?

Flooding can happen as a result of heavy rains or storms, overflow of rivers or streams, melting snow, blocked storm drains, or even mudslides. 

Commercial flood insurance reimburses you for damage to your building and business property resulting from a flood. This coverage is typically excluded from a commercial property insurance policy, and must be purchased as a separate policy. 

In the case of a flood, Massachusetts flood insurance will cover up to a maximum of $500,000 for your building, and up to $500,000 for your business property

Debris removal

Clean-up costs can sometimes be more expensive than damage from the flood itself. Your policy will pay to remove debris from your property after a storm.
