What is the difference between flood damage and water damage?

Water damage is usually caused by water coming through something like a burst pipe, an overflowing toilet,  a dishwasher that leaks all over the kitchen floor or a roof that leaks after a hard rain.

Flood damage is caused by water coming from something like an overwhelmed levee that breaks, a clogged drainage system, a river or lake that overflows or even just the ground being inundated with too much water after a torrential storm. Water seeping into your basement after a heavy rain or winter runoff is usually considered flood damage.
