How flooding affects water quality: Flood events can introduce sewage, agricultural runoff, and industrial chemicals into water supplies.

The <strong>$1,450</strong> remediation estimate shown here excludes flood insurance and is not derived from NFIP claim count.
Claim count does not establish current property risk. Check the exact address in FEMA's current map and obtain a property-specific insurance quote when relevant.
