Climate change is creating all kinds of new problems for homeowners. Hurricanes that are supposed to happen rarely are now becoming frequent occurrences. Wind and heavy rain may do damage and cause dangerous mudslides. Earthquakes are happening with increased severity and in unusual patterns that have not been seen before. The expectation is that these natural disasters will continue to get worse in the future.
This is why it is a good idea to conduct an insurance review with your agent at Paragon Independent Insurance Agency serving Plano, TX to make sure these increased risks are covered by your insurance policies. It is always better to be prepared than to be caught off guard when an emergency happens. Some surprising things have been happening where homes that are not located in a flood zone are being damaged by flooding. Home insurance and flood insurance are different and many should consider having both of these policies.
If you do not already have home insurance for the replacement value of the home and its contents, it is a good idea to consider this. Also, be sure that the estimate of replacement value is accurate and up-to-date. If you have done any remodeling or made any additions to the home be sure to consider those and include the values for them in the replacement cost as well. Discuss with your agent about having special coverage for any items of great value such as antiques or artwork that are kept in the home.
Hopefully there will not be any troubles; however, if they do come up you want to rest assured that there is adequate insurance coverage to take care of the problems. Contact the good folks at Paragon Independent Insurance Agency serving Plano, TX and the surrounding areas to make sure you have adequate insurance coverage for all of your needs.
