5 Common Homeowners Insurance Claims and How to Avoid Them

11/25/2019

3 Comments

 
Picture
​Accidents happen, but it’s plain and simple common sense to plan out things in advance. In fact, one in every 15 policyholders of homeowners insurance in the U.S. files a claim each year. Thus, in order for you to avoid such difficult claims, then you need to know what these are. Here are the five most common homeowners insurance claims as well as tips so that you won’t have to go through them.
Exterior Wind Damage
This is the most common claim of those whose homes are exposed to strong winds. This is also especially true among places where wind and thunderstorms are a regular thing. Strong winds can pick up heavy objects and hurl them towards your house. Thunderstorms and hurricanes can topple trees and slam them onto your walls and windows. In order to avoid this, trim your trees and store your furniture and other stuff indoors as the storm is brewing.

Water Damage from Man-Made Events
This is what you get if you have burst pipes and broken supply lines as well as damaged hoses and other plumbing issues. This is also dangerous since the water may spill or leak into electrical outlets that support your dishwashers and washing machines. In order to avoid this claim, monitor your old equipment such as water heaters and check for leaks. Also, regularly clean your pipes, especially if you're always washing bacon grease from your plates.

Water Damage from the Weather
The snow or rain from bad weather can produce water that can damage your home. For example, snow can damage your roof. Rain can also make your roof rust. Spring melt after winter can lead to flooding. To prevent yourself from making such a claim, and to protect your house as well, remove the snow when enough has piled up. Also, keep your gutters clear of debris and twigs so that rain can pass through freely while you spare the gutter from damage.

Loss Due to Theft
One in every 250 homeowners makes a claim every year because of theft. Homeowners suffer from theft, especially stashed money and electronic equipment. The most important thing you should do to prevent theft is to lock all your doors and windows when no one's around. Install any security and alarm system as well as lights with a motor sensor.

Damage from Fire
Among all types of home insurance claims, those arising from fire damage are the ones that cost a lot. The worst part is that the damage is usually significant and wide. In order to avoid this type of claim, install smoke detectors and check them regularly for maintenance. Inspect the chimney if you have a wood-burning fireplace. Also, always check the kitchen and never leave anything plugged or unattended, especially while you're cooking.

Some Final Words
You can increase safety levels in your home if you try to remove all the possible hazards. This is not only to avoid difficult claims but also to keep your home and your whole family safe. Many homeowners insurance policies may not cover many things. Also, many of them will require you to spend a lot on the damage first before they pay you your claim.

I appreciated it when you shared that fire damage is the most costly type of home insurance claim. My friend just mentioned last week that his house was burnt on fire and all the items could not be saved as it happened when he was on a vacation with his family. I will suggest to him looking for a reliable service to provide estimate writing so he will be able to acquire a home insurance claim for the damage.

The other day my younger brother shared that he is looking to purchase a home. I appreciate that this post pointed out that it is important to also get home insurance. I will definitely be mindful of this information and remind my brother accordingly.

Thank you for stating that fire damage claims are the most expensive of all forms of house insurance claims. My sister purchased a home. I'll advise her to buy homeowner's insurance to reduce the possibility of incurring big costs in the event of a fire.
