🌀 WHAT MAY HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE COVER AFTER A HURRICANE?
The answer depends on the cause of damage and the specific language of your policy.
Your homeowners insurance may potentially provide coverage for:
🏠 WIND DAMAGE
Covered hurricane wind damage may include damage to the roof, siding, windows, doors, and other insured portions of the property.
💧 WATER INTRUSION
Rain entering the home may qualify when wind first damages the building and creates an opening through which the rain enters.
This is different from flooding caused by rising or overflowing surface water, which is generally excluded from homeowners insurance and normally requires separate flood coverage.
📺 PERSONAL PROPERTY
Furniture, electronics, appliances, clothing, and other belongings may be covered, subject to policy limits, exclusions, special limits, and whether the items are insured at actual cash value or replacement cost.
🏨 ADDITIONAL LIVING EXPENSES
If covered damage makes your home uninhabitable, the policy may help with reasonable additional costs such as temporary lodging and increased meal expenses.
Save every receipt.
💰 HURRICANE DEDUCTIBLE
Your hurricane deductible may be calculated as a percentage of the dwelling coverage limit—not as a percentage of the repair estimate.
Always review your:
• Declarations page
• Policy form
• Coverage limits
• Exclusions
• Endorsements
• Deductibles
Every policy is different. Coverage depends on the cause of loss and the complete policy language.
