AmWINS Group Inc. and its recently acquired property The Flood Insurance Agency have launched a commercial property flood product designed to end out-of-pocket expenses not covered by traditional flood insurance.

Dubbed FloodFLEX, the new policy endorsement increases the loss payable under “Coverage A – Building Coverage” of a commercial flood policy from 10 percent to up to 100 percent. The enhancement allows an insured to select the percentage of additional coverage for a single additional premium payment.

An insured with a FloodFLEX policy will receive two payments in the case of covered flood damage to a building. One addresses the covered flood loss and the other is equal to the selected percentage of flood loss.

AmWINS and TFIA are working with an unnamed “A-rated carrier” to offer this product in 49 states.
