No, standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover flood damage. You need a separate flood insurance policy, which you can purchase through the National Flood Insurance Program or from private insurers. This is especially important for Menasha properties near the Fox River and Lake Winnebago, where flooding from snowmelt, ice jams, and heavy rain poses real risks.
Wisconsin homeowners pay an average of $1,172 to $1,662 annually for home insurance, significantly less than the national average of $2,423. Your specific premium depends on your home's value, coverage limits, deductible, and location. Properties requiring higher dwelling coverage amounts will pay more—for example, $500,000 in coverage averages around $2,013 per year statewide.
Most standard homeowners policies do cover damage from ice dams and frozen pipes, as these are typically considered sudden and accidental water damage. However, insurers may deny claims if you failed to take reasonable preventive measures, like maintaining adequate heat in your home or properly insulating pipes. Review your policy's specific language and exclusions to be certain.
While it's not legally required outside high-risk zones, it's still worth considering. About 30% of flood insurance claims come from properties outside designated high-risk areas. In Menasha, flooding can result from rapid snowmelt, ice jams on the Fox River, and heavy spring rains—not just river overflow. Flood damage can easily exceed $25,000, making the relatively low cost of flood insurance a smart investment.
Your dwelling coverage should be high enough to completely rebuild your home at current construction costs, not based on your home's market value or what you paid for it. Construction costs have risen significantly in recent years, and northern Wisconsin properties see particularly high claim amounts due to severe winter damage. Talk to your agent about a replacement cost estimate to ensure you're adequately covered.
Flood insurance policies purchased through the National Flood Insurance Program typically have a 30-day waiting period before coverage takes effect. This means you need to plan ahead—don't wait until spring storms are already approaching. Private flood insurance policies may have different waiting periods, so check with your agent about specific timelines if you need coverage quickly.
