    About this tool

    A repetitive-loss property is one that has flooded and filed federal flood-insurance claims more than once, and it is one of the strongest signals of ongoing flood risk there is. It is also one a buyer almost never sees on a listing. This free tool tells you whether a Greater Houston address sits in an area with repeat-claim properties on record.

    What repetitive loss means

    The National Flood Insurance Program flags properties that have filed multiple flood claims as repetitive-loss, and the worst of these as severe repetitive-loss. These records are reported at the ZIP level, so the free result tells you whether repeat-claim properties exist nearby, not about one specific house. The exact counts are in the full report.

    Why it matters to a buyer

    Areas with repeat claims tend to keep flooding, regardless of what the current flood map says. A repeat-claim history is a track record, not a prediction, and it deserves a hard look before an offer. The full Floodfolio report breaks down how many repeat-loss and severe-repeat-loss properties are on record.
