Summer Storms Are Here; Is Your Insurance Ready?

Summer Storms Can Be Costly

​Virginia summers often bring severe weather that can damage homes, vehicles, and businesses. While we can't prevent the weather, we can make sure you're financially protected.

1. Does Your Homeowners Policy Cover Storm Damage?

Most homeowners policies cover:

• Wind damage
• Hail damage
• Fallen trees (under certain conditions)
• Lightning strikes
  
  

However, many homeowners are surprised to learn that flood damage is generally not covered under a standard homeowners policy.

2. Don't Forget Flood Insurance

Flooding can happen almost anywhere; not just in high-risk flood zones. Just one inch of water inside a home can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage. Whether you live near a river or on higher ground, flood insurance is worth discussing.

At ROC Insurance Group, we can help determine if flood coverage makes sense for your property.

3. Protect Your Vehicles

Summer also means:

• More road trips
• More construction zones
• More severe weather

Review your auto policy to ensure you have:

• Comprehensive coverage for hail and falling trees
• Rental reimbursement
• Roadside assistance
• Adequate liability limits

4. Business Owners: Is Your Business Protected?

Summer storms can interrupt operations and damage equipment.

 Business owners should review:

•  Property coverage
• Business interruption coverage
• Equipment breakdown protection
• Commercial auto policies

5. Take 15 Minutes for a Coverage Review

Life changes quickly:

• Purchased a new home?
• Added a vehicle?
• Started a business?
• Renovated your house?
• Added a teen driver?

These are all good reasons to review your insurance.
