Early July's frequent and heavy rains reminded us of the potential problems in basements caused by excessive rain.
Damage resulting from water which backs up through sewers or drains or results from sump pump failure is covered by most homeowner policies up to a $5,000 limit. Higher limits are available and should be considered if you have a finished basement or have valuable furnishings there.
If your basement has a sump pump please remember to test it periodically. Also, during heavy rains when the system kicks on often be sure to check the float. They have a tendency to get stuck in a position which causes the system to fail.
Feel free to contact us with any questions about your homeowner coverage.
Call the office at 614-459-6500 and ask for Dan or Ken.
