For homeowners, hurricane insurance can be a valuable tool to help protect their home and assets. It covers the full cost of hurricane damages, including lodging costs and meals at a restaurant while your home rebuilds. It is possible that reconstruction may take up to a year, in some cases. However, deductibles are required, so you must be prepared to pay some money out of your own pocket if you want to claim a claim.
Wind
Hurricane insurance is essential if you are located in an area susceptible to severe weather. If you don't, you may have to pay an additional deductible. These deductibles will vary by state but are generally between 1% to 55%. In some states, you may be able to choose a higher percentage (or a flat amount).
Hail
The amount of insurance you receive for hail damage depends on your policy limits and the insurer's assessment. A deductible may be required before insurance companies will cover the damage. A deductible is a standard part of most homeowners insurance policies.
Sewer backup
You will not be covered for sewer backup if you do not have the appropriate coverage. Some insurers have special policies that cover this type of disaster. Before you sign up to a policy, make sure you know where your home is located.
Additional living expenses
You can get additional living expenses coverage through your homeowner's insurance policy in the event you are evacuated by a hurricane. This coverage pays for rent and hotels as well as other living expenses.
Wind-driven waters
Wind-driven water can be included in a policy to protect against hurricanes. It is often listed under the policy's description. However, wind-driven rain is often not specifically covered by policies. Wind-driven rain may be considered a different water damage type than flood by some insurers, which may lead to it being excluded from coverage.
Storm surge
A storm surge refers to water being pushed onto land by high winds in a hurricane. Storm surge is a combination of normal tides and storm surge that can cause severe flooding along the coast. Although storm surge is seldom excluded from property policies, there are many disputes regarding its coverage.
