Damage covered depends on your policy – Not every event that destroys your home can be covered. You need to know what your plan entails and if you need any changes to be done, make sure you communicate it to your insurer.

Have a home inventory – Make sure you categorize everything you have. In doing so, you will be able to know which items were damaged when filing a claim.

You are in control – Most people feel like the insurance company is in control. That should not be the case. You should explore different insurance companies offering home insurance so that you can have options to choose if you cannot find a policy that fits your needs.
