02 TRENDING QUESTIONS

What policyholders ask first

Each answered in a full guide. Plain English, FL & SC law.

DENIALS · ROOF

My roof claim was denied. Now what?

Wear-and-tear vs. wind, the engineer-report trap, and the four escalation paths that actually work.

DEADLINES · FILING

How long do I have to file a hurricane claim?

Notice deadlines, supplemental-claim windows, and suit deadlines in FL and SC, with the statutes.

COVERAGE · SURGE

Is storm surge covered by my homeowners policy?

Wind vs. flood is the biggest coverage fight after every hurricane. Where the line actually falls.

COVERAGE · RAIN

Rain got in during the storm. Is that covered?

Wind-driven rain is covered in some policies and excluded in others. How to read yours.

MONEY · DEDUCTIBLE

What will my hurricane deductible cost me?

2%, 5%, or 10% of the dwelling limit, not the loss. Run your real number in 30 seconds.

MONEY · DEPRECIATION

Why is the check smaller than the estimate?

Recoverable depreciation, holdbacks, and how to collect the rest of what your policy owes.

03 BEYOND THE STORM

Hurricanes are just the start

Any property, any peril, any size, from a burst pipe in a kitchen to a shuttered stadium.

HOMEOWNERS · START HERE

Your home. Your policy. Your fight.

Most of what we cover starts at a house: the roof, the wind deductible, the adjuster in your driveway, the denial letter in your mailbox. The homeowner hub takes you from policy to paid.

HOMEOWNER HUB → POLICY → CLAIM → PAID
FIRE

Fire & Smoke

Structure fires, smoke and soot migration, and the total-loss fights that follow.

GROUND

Sinkholes & Collapse

Sinkhole activity, catastrophic ground collapse, and the engineering tests insurers lean on.

COMMERCIAL

Commercial & Industrial

Warehouses, high-rises, stadiums: complex policies, layered coverage, eight-figure losses.

INCOME

Business Interruption

Restaurants, retail, hospitality: lost income, extra expense, and the period-of-restoration fight.

COMMUNITY

Condos, HOAs & High-Rises

Master policies, special assessments, and who pays when the building itself is the loss.

WATER

Pipes, Appliances & Mold

The everyday water losses insurers deny as "long-term seepage", and how to beat that.
