Severe Weather Damage Scenarios
Severe storms can be frightening and dangerous, and you should put safety first. If your region has seen major problems, use caution. If you suspect structural damage or more flooding, stay out until a professional says it's safe. Find another place to stay until you're confident it's safe.
Get through the storm, and then assess the damage. Read on for more.
Insurance for Storm Damage
Coverage varies based on your region, the specifics of your policy, the extent of damage and other factors.
Most severe storm damage events are considered acts of God, and that means that your insurer can't single you out for rate increases. However, failing to file claims in a timely manner can cause problems, and entire neighborhoods can be subject to rate increases following major weather events. Always file claims immediately so you don't end up with higher premiums and no benefits.
Storm Damage Scenarios
- Damage from Flooding: Floods can ruin foundations, ruin framing and finish work, lead to mold growth and much more.
- Tornado and Tropical Storm Damage: Circular wind storms can completely destroy, such as catastrophic damage to siding, roofs, landscaping and more.
- Damage from Wind Storms: This can rip off siding, shingles and even whole roofs, lead to broken windows, destroy trees and landscaping and power grids and cause other problems.
- Hail Storm Aftermath: Major hail storms can cause shingle and siding damage, and that can mean roof leaks and compounding structural damage.
- Winter Storm Damage: This can collapse roofs, lead to broken trees and electricity poles, and cause other harm.
