What is home insurance, and what does it cover

Home insurance is a type of property insurance that covers damage to your home and its contents. Home insurance often covers a wide range of incidents, so it's essential to read the fine print and know what can be covered in a home insurance claim. 

Some events that warrant a home insurance claim include water damage, fire damage, mold damage, and vandalism.

Call an agent immediately if you're not sure whether home insurance will cover the damage your property experienced. 

Tips for filing a home insurance claim

Here are some tips on how to make a home insurance claim and get the process started:

1. File a home insurance claim as soon as possible after the damage occurs. This step will speed up the process and ensure that you receive the reimbursement you deserve.
2. Make sure you have all the necessary information handy, including photos of the damage, repair estimates, and contact information for your insurance company.
3. Be prepared to answer questions about what happened and the extent of the damage. The insurance company will need this information to process your claim.
4. Keep track of all expenses related to repairing or replacing damaged home items and provide the receipts to the insurance company. Duplicate home insurance claims will lead to delays in receiving reimbursement or might even result in denied claims.

Remember, your home is one of your most valuable assets. Taking care of your home insurance claim as soon as possible ensures that you are reimbursed quickly and put your home back into its original condition with minimal delay.
