Windstorm Insurance

 

 

 

Given the aftermath of recent catastrophic hurricane seasons and the ongoing recovery efforts of countless individuals striving to rebuild their homes and livelihoods, have you ensured that your home is shielded from potential hurricane or windstorm-related damages? Especially if you reside in a coastal area, you're well aware of the havoc and expenses a storm can wreak. Avoid the prospect of facing unexpected and costly consequences similar to those caused by hurricanes like Ike and Rita. Secure the peace of mind you deserve.

Wind insurance, also known as windstorm insurance or hurricane insurance, is a type of property insurance that provides coverage specifically for damage caused by strong winds and wind-related perils. It is designed to protect property owners from the financial losses that can result from windstorms, hurricanes, tornadoes, and other similar natural events.

Wind insurance typically covers damage to structures such as homes, buildings, and other permanent structures, as well as their contents. Covered damages can include roof damage, broken windows, structural damage, and other destruction caused by high winds. In some cases, wind insurance might also cover additional expenses related to windstorm damage, such as temporary housing costs if the insured property becomes uninhabitable due to wind-related damage.

It's important to note that wind insurance is often offered as a separate policy or as an endorsement to a standard homeowners insurance policy. This is because standard homeowners insurance might exclude or have limited coverage for wind-related damages, especially in areas prone to severe windstorms or hurricanes. Depending on the geographical location and level of risk, some property owners may be required by lenders or local regulations to obtain wind insurance in addition to their regular property insurance coverage.

Wind insurance terms, coverage limits, deductibles, and specific inclusions can vary depending on the insurance provider and the region where the insured property is located. It's recommended for property owners in wind-prone areas to carefully review their insurance policies and consider obtaining wind insurance to adequately protect against potential windstorm-related losses.

Keep in mind that residing in close proximity to the coast means your standard Homeowner's Insurance might not offer protection against hurricanes or windstorm-related damages, unless your policy explicitly includes this coverage.

Let us take the initiative to assess your current coverage, ensuring that you and your loved ones are adequately safeguarded with the necessary protections for your Gulf Coast lifestyle.
