Most Frequent Home Insurance Claims
Home insurance provides critical protection for your house, belongings, and the people inside. Here at Branch, we protect you and what matters most. It’s important to know what your insurance policy covers in case you have to file a claim, as well as what damages are under separate deductibles. When protecting your home, use these helpful tips to avoid these three most common claims:
Wind and Hail
- Most prominent in the northeast
- You can prevent wind and hail damage by maintaining your home regularly staying up to date with siding, roofing, and window repairs
Water Damage and Freezing
- Especially prominent in the winter - pipes expand after freezing
- Prevention practices include lining pipes with insulation, allowing faucets to drip occasionally to keep water running, and keeping your home heated and warm
Property Damage and Theft
- In order to reduce property damage and theft, invest in a home security system.
Check out our list of partners and see if you can save more on your insurance when you add a home security system. - Don’t hide your spare keys outside, 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 and electricity costs.
Following these easy tips will help you maintain a safer home and reduce your chances of filing a claim.
