Windstorm Damage

When storms hit, your home will be vulnerable to damages from wind, rain, debris, and more. The weather can be unpredictable but with a good homeowners insurance policy, you can be ready for the unexpected. Storm damage, wind damage, and hurricane damage can be devastating to your home. Let me ensure your claim gets the attention it deserves so you get the compensation you deserve.

 

What is storm damage?

Storm damage refers to specific types of home and property damage caused by a storm-related event. From high velocity winds, heavy rain, and more, storms can cause all sorts of damage to your home and property. Individual homeowners insurance policies vary in how they define storm damage.

Types of storm damage may include:

• Water Damage and Ice Damage – If water enters your home through a storm-created opening, it could lead to water damage.
• Lightning strikes and Lightning damage – If lightning damages your home either directly or indirectly via electrical fires, you may be eligible for compensation.
• Fallen tree damage – When trees fall due to storm winds and rains, you may be able to file a claim depending on the nature of the damage caused by the fallen tree and branches.
• Wind damage – From roof shingles knocked loose to flying debris, damage caused by strong winds may be covered in your storm insurance policy.
• Power surges and power outages – Certain policies may offer reimbursement for problems and damage caused by power outages during a storm (such as food spoilage).

It should be noted that most homeowners insurance does not include flood damage or hurricane damage in their storm damage policies.

 

Homeowners Insurance and Storm Damage Insurance

Storm damage insurance is not a standalone type of insurance–it’s considered part of your homeowners policy. Most standard homeowners insurance policies include storm insurance coverage, but individual policies vary in what gets covered and what doesn’t. For example, water damage from a storm is typically covered if the rainwater enters through an opening created by stormwinds. Water damage caused by floodwater may not be covered (requires separate flood insurance).

With years of experience handling storm insurance claims, I will stand for you against your insurance company to ensure maximum compensation.
