Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about insuring boats, waterfront homes, and property in Guilford, Connecticut.
How flood-prone is Old Quarry Rd in Guilford?
Old Quarry Rd is one of Guilford's most flood-prone roads, serving about 29 homes with a combined value of $78 million or more. If your property is on or near this road, flood insurance is worth a close look alongside your standard homeowners policy.
What does 'south of the railroad tracks' mean for evacuation risk in Guilford?
