Does my homeowner’s insurance protect my home if there is a flood or fire?

What is there not to love about owning a home in Hope Hills, NC? With the weather, the people, and all the other amenities, there is very little to complain about. However, sometimes unfortunate events happen even in places where it is least expected.

That is why at Cross Creek Insurance we work with every client to make sure they have the protection they really need based on their personal risks. It can be traumatic enough to go through a disaster without finding out that you were not covered under your current insurance policy for that particular scenario.

An insurance policy is really a contract between the insured person and the insurance company. The contract spells out the level of protection, what exactly is being protected, what kinds of perils are being protected against, and how much the protection costs. Anything that is not in the contract will not be enforceable.

A standard homeowner’s policy will protect the home, the property, and the belongings in the home and on the property, up to certain limits. It will also protect from certain named perils, such as theft, fire, and hail damage. In case of a serious incident, the homeowner may be able to expect the policy to cover property damage, temporary housing, and liability protection.

It is important to note that a homeowner’s policy in Hope Hills, NC will not cover flood damage. If a homeowner wants that kind of protection, it can be purchased separately.

Not everyone needs flood insurance, but you don’t want to find out that you need it when it is too late. If you want to find out how to check if your property is in a flood zone, or if you just want to discuss your policy, please call Cross Creek Insurance today.
