A denial letter is the start of a conversation, not the end of one. Pick the reason your insurer gave and get a plain-language explanation plus concrete next steps to push back.

What reason did your insurer give?

"Flood is not covered"

What this denial really means

The insurer classified your loss as flood (rising water), which a homeowners policy excludes. The fight is over whether the water was wind-driven rain (often covered) versus rising flood water.

Your appeal steps

  1. Pin down the cause: wind-driven rain entering through a wind-opened roof is a wind loss, not a flood loss.
  2. Request the denial in writing, with the specific policy language and exclusion cited.
  3. If the entry point was wind-created, document it (photos of the roof breach) and dispute the flood classification.
  4. File a complaint with the Florida Department of Financial Services if the loss was mischaracterized.
You can file a complaint with the Florida Department of Financial Services (the agency a former CFO ran). Informational, not legal advice.
