Does Your Homeowner’s Insurance Policy Cover Storm Damage?

April 12, 2022 by Samantha Easton

Does Your Homeowner's Insurance Policy Cover Storm Damage?If you own a home, you must make sure it is properly protected. Hazards can change throughout the year, and one of the biggest threats during the spring is the arrival of frequent thunderstorms. If your home is damaged by a severe storm, it might be covered by your homeowner’s insurance policy. You need to take a closer look at your policy to see if you have the right coverage.

An Overview Of Home Insurance

An insurance policy is supposed to protect you against potentially severe financial consequences. For example, if your home is damaged, the repair bills could be tens of thousands of dollars. If you have home insurance, your policy may pay for this type of damage.

The right insurance policy can repair damage to your roof, fix your walls, and even replace the furniture that might have been damaged. Typically, your home insurance policy will have an initial deductible, which is an out-of-pocket expense. Then, once your deductible has been met, your home insurance policy should cover the rest up to the limit of its coverage. 

Does Home Insurance Cover Storm Damage?

It isn’t unusual for a home insurance policy to cover potential storm damage. At the same time, you need to understand the limitations of your policy and the circumstances under which a claim might be paid out. For example, your home insurance policy might protect your home in the event of a thunderstorm, but it may not protect your home in the event of a flood from a nearby river or lake. You should also make sure you have enough financial coverage in your home insurance policy to repair your home and replace any damaged property. 

How To Check A Home Insurance Policy

Start by reading through your policy to see what is covered in what is not. There might be a lot of jargon in the policy. If you have a difficult time understanding the wording, you should contact your insurance company and speak to a representative. 

You should keep a copy of your home insurance policy in a fire-proof container or safe. This will make it easier for you to refer back to the policy if you have questions later or in the event of an emergency.
