Wind Coverage

8/23/2018 (Permalink)

Most of us take out a homeowner’s policy when we purchase our home.  We often assume that everything is covered, but that is a misconception.  At SERVPRO of Mobile County, we want to help you be better informed when it comes to protecting your home.  There are many situations that aren’t covered by your average policy.  Many homeowners don’t realize this until the damage has been done.  In addition to flood and mold coverage, wind damage is often an additional rider that you must add to your policy. Even if your policy does cover wind damage that can be attributed to a natural disaster, there may be stipulations such as the age of the roof at the time of the event.  It is important to know that each insurance carrier covers wind damage differently and it is important to discuss with your agent exactly what your policy covers.  If you experience roof damage during a storm, call SERVPRO of Mobile County. We can help with temporary tarping until the restoration process can begin.
