We’ve experienced a lot of storms this winter. Blizzards and heavy snow that have made driving and going out dangerous have become more frequent. When you look at local weather news, you’ll be greeted with reports of severe winter weather. In fact, according to the National Weather Service, this is Omaha’s snowiest February on record!
During winter, we can always perform precautionary measures to protect ourselves and our home. However, we can’t exactly tell how bad the next snowstorm to hit us may be. So, it’s wise to know how a storm damage insurance claim works before you need to file one. Storm damage services specialist, Dynasty Restoration Inc., shares the basics of homeowner insurance claims.
What to Do Before a Storm
Aside from the precautionary and protective measures that you will perform to keep your family, assets and home safe, you should also do a few things. First, always keep a copy of your homeowner’s insurance policy handy. Make sure that this copy is stored somewhere you can easily find and get it when necessary. You should also take the time to carefully study your policy and understand what it covers.
It will also help to keep an inventory of your belongings and take photos, especially of the parts of the home that are likely to be most affected by a storm. These include the roof, windows, siding and doors.
What to Do After a Storm
Whether your home has obvious signs of damage or not, you should call a storm damage roof restoration specialist for a thorough inspection. It would be best if you hire a contractor who can help you with your insurance claim.
You should also review your insurance policy and discuss it with your contractor. Your contractor will assist you with your claim and make sure that you get just compensation for your losses.
