With hurricane Ian enroute here are some tips to help you prepare!
-Keep all interior doors shut. (It will help keep intruding air contained to one area of your home & hopefully save your roof!)
-Take down any glass picture frames off the wall and store them for safe keeping. (You don’t want to deal with shattered glass in the aftermath)
-Tie down or bring in loose items outside that can easily become projectiles during the storm.
-Bring your PETS in or make sure they have stable shelter!
Frequently asked questions:
-Standard Homeowner Policies do not have flood coverage. Flood is defined as rising ground water that seeps into your home. However, if water comes in your home thru damage to the structure (such as a tree falling on home or a broken window) then it is *covered.
-Fallen Tree: Regardless of the location of a tree (such as neighbor’s yard or unmarked land), if a live tree falls on your property then your Home policy *covers debris removal as well as damage, as long as it falls on your home or a structure (such as your fence). If it lands in your yard only, there is no coverage for debris removal at that point.
-Auto Policy: If you have *Comprehensive then you have water & storm damage coverage for your vehicle.
*All are subject to policy deductibles &/or limitations within your policy.
