Create a home inventory

9/7/2021 (Permalink)

A home inventory is a detailed list of items in your house that you make in the case of theft or damage. Creating a list can be time consuming, but it is better to do so now rather than trying to make one from memory later.

A home inventory list can help you:

• Buy the right amount of insurance for you and your family.
• Keep track of all the items you have in your home.
• Get paid the correct amount by your insurer for items covered under your policy.
• Get your insurance claim settled faster and more easily.

Maintain your home

It’s important to maintain your home to prevent damage from a storm that might not be covered by your insurance policy. Here are four things you can do to maintain the outside of your home:

• Remove dead limbs and downed branches, and trim trees that may fall and damage buildings or other structures.
• Get your roof inspected regularly to keep it free of defects and in good condition.
• Clean debris out of gutters.
• Seal outside wall openings like vents, outdoor electrical outlets, and locations where pipes or cables go through the wall to prevent water from getting in.
