How Home Insurance Protects Against Storm Damage

How Home Insurance Protects Against Storm Damage

When a storm hits your Zeeland, MI home, the first thing is to get safe. Then, after it has passed, you want to do what you can to assess the level of damage. Take pictures and start documenting. Then, call your insurer who will help ensure you get the finances you need to repair or even rebuild your home.

A good home insurance policy will help get you back on your feet by offering the following coverage:

  • Dwelling Coverage that insures the physical structure of your home, including flooring, walls, and roofing.
  • Personal Property Coverage that insures sensitive, valuable, and expensive personal belongings, including electronics and clothing.
  • Additional Living Expenses Coverage that offers reimbursements on money you might need to spend while your home is being repaired or rebuilt, including lodging and partial food costs. 
  • Debris Removal Coverage that offers reimbursements on money you might need to spend to remove storm debris — which does get expensive.
