Spring brings warmer weather, blooming flowers — and unfortunately, strong storms, heavy rain, and unpredictable weather. From wind damage to flooding, spring storms can cause serious property damage if you’re not properly prepared.
At All Graham Insurance Solutions, we want to make sure you understand what your insurance covers — and where you may need extra protection.
🌪️ 1. What Types of Storm Damage Are Typically Covered?
Most standard homeowners insurance policies cover damage caused by:
- Windstorms and hail
- Lightning strikes
- Fallen trees (in many cases)
- Certain types of water damage (not flooding)
This means if a storm damages your roof or siding, your policy will likely help cover repairs — after your deductible.
🌊 2. What’s NOT Covered? (Important!)
One of the biggest misconceptions is around flooding.
🚫 Standard home insurance does NOT cover:
- Flooding from heavy rain
- Rising water from rivers or streets
- Storm surge
If water enters your home from the ground up, you’ll need a separate flood insurance policy.
💡 Even homes outside high-risk zones can flood — especially during spring storms.
🏡 3. Check Your Coverage Before the Storm Hits
Spring is the perfect time to review your policy and ask:
- Do I have enough dwelling coverage to rebuild my home?
- What is my deductible for wind or storm damage?
- Do I need flood insurance?
- Are my personal belongings fully covered?
A quick review now can prevent major financial stress later.
🛠️ 4. Simple Ways to Prepare Your Home
Insurance is essential — but prevention matters too.
✔ Clean out gutters and downspouts
✔ Inspect your roof for loose or missing shingles
✔ Trim trees and remove weak branches
✔ Secure outdoor furniture
✔ Test your sump pump
✔ Seal windows and doors
These small steps can significantly reduce your risk.
📸 5. Document Your Property Before Damage Happens
Before storm season ramps up:
- Take photos or videos of your home (inside and out)
- Save receipts for major items
- Store files digitally
This makes the claims process faster and smoother if damage occurs.
