Ohio homeowners know all too well the unpredictability of weather and the havoc severe thunderstorms can wreak on their homes and peace of mind. While we can’t control the weather, being prepared can make all the difference in protecting our homes and families. Recent events have reminded us of just that, underscoring the importance of readiness in the face of nature’s unpredictability.


Understanding Your Insurance Coverage

A common misconception among homeowners is that standard homeowners’ insurance policies cover all weather-related damages. However, when it comes to severe thunderstorms, two specific types of coverage stand out for their importance:

  • Sewer and Water Backup Coverage: Your frontline defense against damage when water backs up through sewers or drains. It’s a safeguard against a risk that, while common, is often overlooked until it’s too late.

  • Flood Insurance: Covers damage from water that enters your home from the outside, breaching walls and foundations. Despite the devastation flooding can cause, many homeowners are surprised to learn that flood damage is not covered under standard homeowners’ insurance policies and must be acquired separately.


Why Now Is the Time to Act

The aftermath of a storm can leave families grappling with the unexpected financial burden of repairs and recovery. In Ohio, where weather can turn on a dime, having the right coverages in place offers more than just property protection—it offers peace of mind. Now, more than ever, is the opportune moment for homeowners to review their insurance coverages and consider whether additional protections like Sewer and Water Backup Coverage and Flood Insurance are right for them.
