Commercial Risk Alert: The $23,000 Flood Insurance Bill in South Huntsville
Business owners on Fisher St SW and along Memorial Parkway are facing a growing flood-risk crisis. A commercial property recently audited in 35803 was quoted $23,243 by the NFIP.
What’s causing it?
Impervious Surface Runoff.
As industrial parks expand across South Huntsville, grass and soil are replaced with concrete. Flash floods now rush into slab-on-grade warehouses, damaging inventory, electrical systems, equipment, and flooring.
Why this matters for your business:
Standard general liability policies do not cover flood damage. To protect your business, The Flood Insurance Guru structures commercial policies that protect:
✔ Your building
✔ Your inventory
✔ Your revenue
✔ Your balance sheet
Commercial Coverage Advantages
- Inventory Coverage: Up to $5,000,000 (NFIP caps at $500,000)
- Business Interruption Coverage: Get paid if flood damage pauses operations
- Faster Activation: 14-day wait time (vs NFIP 30 days)
- Customizable: Warehouses, manufacturing, auto shops, retail, and industrial facilities
