Is Anywhere Totally Safe from Disasters?

 

This is a question worth answering no matter where you live. People in some parts of the country are highly susceptible to hurricanes, while others face virtually no risk from them. Some live with the risk of earthquakes, others do not.

 

Recent flooding that swamped parts of the Midwest, including Indiana, Wisconsin and Iowa, caught many property owners unprotected. Only 1 percent of all Indiana homeowners have flood insurance. Wisconsin reports even less than that. People generally pass on federally backed flood coverage because they don't realize it falls outside standard home insurance or they underestimate the risk.

 

Wisconsin Insurance Commissioner Sean Dilweg expects damages from flooding that passed through his state to top $100 million. But of the 2 million households statewide, only about 13,600 had flood insurance policies.

 

A lack of flood insurance isn't limited to the Midwest. The National Flood Insurance Program estimates that only half the property owners were insured when hurricanes Katrina and Rita tore up the Gulf Coast in 2005. The program paid $15 billion to those who did have coverage during what it deems the costliest storm season on record.

 

Being in the early stages of the 2008 Hurricane Season, and in the aftermath of the unusual flooding in the midwest, NOW might be a great time for EVERYONE to check their homeowner's coverage. After disaster strikes is too late.

Hurricane Season: Make Sure

Hurricane Season: Make Sure You're Covered

 

Hurricane season is upon us once more, which means greater potential for flooding and/or flood damage to your home.  It doesn’t matter where you live, flooding can occur almost anywhere.  If you live along the coast or near a body of water, particularly, protection against and preparation for this type of disaster is necessary to ensure your finances are protected.  Have you purchased flood insurance?

 

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reports that flooding is America’s #1 natural disaster.  From snow melts and flash flooding to tropical storms and dams that have reached capacity, the potential for flooding should always be considered, regardless of where your home is located.

 

With hurricane season here again, it's prime time to be considering flood insurance. 

 

Why should you purchase flood coverage?  Well, the important fact to be aware of is that homeowner’s insurance policies do not cover flood damage or ground water damage from heavy rain.  So, even if you’ve purchased a significant amount of homeowner’s insurance and your area experiences heavy flash flooding, damage to your dwelling will not be covered unless you have purchased flood insurance.

 

Check with your insurance agent now, don't wait for a storm to be approaching.  Most insurance companies will not amend or add to insurance policies once a named system is alive, and Federal flood insurance takes several weeks to process.

Home Inspections: What Types Are There?

 

Professional home inspectors examine existing homes using professional standards as a measure to accurately report their condition to parties involved in a real estate transaction.

 

There are many types of property inspections offered by home inspectors, depending on your needs.  These include:

  • Pre-Listing Inspections
  • Pre-Purchase Inspections
  • New Construction Inspections
  • HUD/FHA Inspections
  • Multiunit Inspections
  • Annual Maintenance Checkup

 

When purchasing a home, many home buyers have saved literally thousands of dollars through information provided by the home inspector.  Home owners who have owned their homes for several years can even benefit from a home inspector's knowledge of maintenance and repairs, and experience to avert potential problems.  In many areas where disasters have occurred, homeowners have relied on inspectors to help them identify any damage resulting from storms, earthquakes, etc., some of which could be hidden if you're not trained to look for them.

 

Talk to us about home inspections.  We'll help you decide what type of inspection is right for you, depending on your circumstances.

 

Have you ever purchased a home without getting the recommended home inspection done prior to buying?  Leave us your comment if you've had a good or bad experience concerning home inspections.  We'd love to hear from you.  Your email address will never be published here, so your privacy is maintained.
