Homeowners can use hurricane insurance to protect their home and property. It covers all costs related to hurricanes, such as the cost of lodging and food at restaurants while your house is being rebuilt. In many cases, this reconstruction will take months, if not years. 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
If you live near a hurricane-prone area, it is important to have hurricane insurance. You may need to pay an additional deductible if you don't have it. The deductibles can vary from one state to the next, but they generally range between 1% and 5%. In some states you have the option to select a higher percentage or a flat rate.
Hail
The amount of insurance payout for hail damage depends on the insurer's assessment of the damage, and your policy's limits. You may also have to pay a deductible before the insurance company pays for the damage. Most homeowners insurance policies include a deductible.
Backup from the sewer
Sewer backup is not covered under your standard home insurance policy, so you need to make sure you have the right coverage. However, some insurers offer special policies to cover this kind of disaster. Before you sign up to a policy, make sure you know where your home is located.
Additional living expenses
Additional living expenses coverage can be added to your homeowner's policy if you are displaced by a hurricane. This coverage covers rent and hotels, as well as other living expenses.
Wind-driven waters
Additional perils such as wind-driven water may be covered by a policy that covers hurricanes. It is often listed under the policy's description. However, wind-driven rain is often not specifically covered by policies. Insurers may not cover wind-driven rainfall because it is a different form of flood damage.
Storm surge
In a hurricane, a storm surge is water pushed up on land by high winds. Storm surges combine with normal tides to cause flooding in coastal areas. Although storm surge coverage is not usually excluded from property insurance policies there have been many disputes about its inclusion.
