Call 631-698-7400 for a flood insurance quote.
At Price, Capell & Associates Inc., we help property owners throughout Suffolk County and Long Island secure flood insurance designed to protect homes, rental properties, and buildings from rising water and storm-related flooding.
Flooding is one of the most common and costly natural disasters on Long Island, particularly for properties located near the Great South Bay, Atlantic Ocean, tidal creeks, and low-lying neighborhoods.
Standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover flood damage, which is why many homeowners and landlords choose to purchase a separate flood insurance policy.
Whether you own a property in Holtsville, Patchogue, Sayville, Bellport, or Mastic Beach, we help structure flood insurance coverage based on your property's location, elevation, flood zone designation, and lender requirements.
Why Flood Insurance Is Important on Long Island
Flood exposure in Suffolk County can occur from multiple sources — not just coastal storm surge.
Common causes of flooding on Long Island include:
• Coastal storm surge from hurricanes and nor’easters
• Heavy rainfall and overwhelmed drainage systems
• Rising groundwater and high water tables
• Tidal overflow from bays, rivers, and creeks
• Rapid snowmelt combined with heavy rainfall
Many flood claims occur in areas that are not directly on the waterfront, particularly in neighborhoods with shallow groundwater levels.
For this reason, flood insurance may be recommended even for homes located outside high-risk FEMA flood zones.
Flood Insurance for Coastal Homes and Businesses on Long Island
Flood insurance helps protect homes, businesses, office buildings, retail stores, and investment properties throughout Long Island from flood damage and rising water. Properties in Suffolk County and Nassau County near the coast may require flood insurance due to FEMA flood zones, mortgage requirements, or storm exposure. We help homeowners and business owners obtain flood insurance coverage for buildings, contents, business personal property, and commercial properties across Long Island.
Private Flood Insurance in New York
Private flood insurance may be available to homeowners, landlords, condo owners, and commercial property owners seeking alternatives to a standard flood policy. Depending on the property, private flood coverage may offer options for building coverage, contents coverage, replacement cost, higher limits, or different pricing than traditional flood insurance. Price, Capell & Associates Inc. helps property owners compare flood insurance options across Long Island, Suffolk County, Nassau County, and New York.

Flood Insurance Rates on Long Island
Flood insurance rates on Long Island can vary based on the property address, flood zone, elevation, distance to water, building construction, foundation type, prior flood history, replacement cost, and coverage limits selected. Homes near the Great South Bay, Atlantic Ocean, Long Island Sound, tidal creeks, canals, and low-lying neighborhoods may have different pricing than inland properties. We help clients review flood insurance rates and coverage options before they buy, renew, refinance, or close on a property.
