Most Frequent Home Insurance Claims

Homeowners insurance provides protection for your home, belongings, and the people inside.  Our priority is protecting what matters most to you. It’s necessary to know what your insurance policy covers and the ins and outs of your policy in case you ever need to file a claim. When protecting your home, use these important tips to avoid the three most common claims:

Wind and Hail 

• You can prevent wind and hail damage by maintaining your home regularly and staying up to date with siding, roofing, and window repairs. Get Missouri StormAware and learn how to stay safe during severe weather: http://stormaware.mo.gov/
  

Water Damage

• Water damage is most prominent in the winter when pipes expand after freezing.
• Preventative tips include lining pipes with insulation, allowing faucets to drip every so often to keep water running, and making sure your home is properly heated.

Property Damage and Theft

• Lower your chances of theft by investing in a home security system.

• Use caution when hiding your extra keys outdoors, especially under a welcome mat or flower pot.
  Instead, try using a lockbox or giving your spare key to a trusted friend or family member.
• Blow out candles and unplug running electronics when they’re not in use to reduce fire hazards.

Following these easy tips will help you maintain a safer home and reduce your chances of filing a claim.
