Homeowners’ insurance is important. It is not, however, a cure-all. More often than not, an average policy does not have all of the coverage to provide compensation for any forms of water damage.

Your insurer may shoulder most of the cost of your new roof. But you may have to foot the bill for mold remediation, water damage restoration and any flood-related repairs – unless you get a separate policy that covers these issues.

However, having adequate homeowners’ insurance is not without downsides. Be wary of not being sufficiently insured. If you do not read your policy carefully, any shortcomings on your part could work against you. In the end, your insurance claim may get denied, and you may be forced to pay for remediation all by yourself. So, it’s important to take steps to protect yourself.

Control Indoor Moisture

Moisture is water so it is detrimental to building materials, particularly to those that make up your roofing system. Without proper attic ventilation, the chances of excessive moisture buildup is high, especially during the heating season.

Every water and hail damage restoration company will agree that a combination of natural and mechanical ventilators can be effective in combating moisture accumulation. The use of intake and exhaust roof vents as well as appropriate HVAC units can help keep your attic dry.

Keep Your Gutters Structurally Sound

Observe gutter maintenance to ensure proper drainage. Gutters and downspouts are vulnerable to the elements so check them out regularly to fix unstable and leaky sections.
