Karla Salmon Insurance serves the city of Oviedo, FL with the home insurance it needs to protect the typical American’s most significant investment – their home. In Florida, hurricanes frequently make landfall, damaging homes.

More than just coastal homes incur damage. The rains and winds of a hurricane damage inland homes, too.

Covered: Wind Damage

Your home insurance covers some of this damage. If high winds damage your home, your home insurance covers the damage.

Uncovered: Rising Water Flood

If the rain causes water levels to rise and your home floods, your home insurance does not cover that. Only a flood policy covers that.

Covered: Wind Damage Caused Flooding

However, if winds damage your roof and rainwater enters the home through the wind damage, your home policy does cover that water damage.

Covered: Hail Damage

Hail from the thunderstorms that spawn from a hurricane, the home policy covers. Also, if the hail breaks windows or damages the roof, the home policy does cover the ensuing water damage.

Covered: Mold or Mildew Caused by Roof Damage

If the water that enters the home from above causes mold or mildew, then the home coverage pays for it. Only flood insurance covers if mold or mildew develops because of a rising water flood.
