Insurance issues Alabama homeowners should know about

Pleasant Grove weather can be severe at times which means that homeowners in your state may need to be aware of these additional risks and how they impact insurance coverage.

Flood Insurance: Hurricanes and other severe weather can lead to flooding which can do a tremendous amount of damage to a home. Flood damage is almost always excluded from a standard homeowners policy so you have to carry flood insurance in order to be fully protected.

Flood insurance can be pricey, but it can also be a financial lifesaver if your home is damaged or destroyed by a flood. Flood insurance is available via the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or through private insurers.

Windstorm Insurance or Deductible: Alabama is no stranger to hurricanes and these storms can lead to wind damage that may not be covered or triggers a hurricane deductible.

Some standard homeowner policies exclude wind damage caused by hurricanes or other high level windstorms, requiring homeowners to purchase a separate windstorm policy or if windstorm damage is covered, a windstorm deductible may apply.

A windstorm deductible kicks in when a hurricane is declared by National Weather Service. In Alabama, hurricane deductibles apply for damage that occurs from the time a hurricane watch, or warning is issued for any part of Alabama, up to 72 hours after such a watch or warning ends and anytime hurricane conditions exist throughout the state.

Windstorm deductibles are percentage deductibles which means you will pay a percentage of your coverage level as a deductible. As an example, if you are carrying $300,000 in coverage and have a 5 percent hurricane deductible, you will need to cover the first $15,000 of your claim.

What is the difference between actual cash value and replacement cost value?

Homeowners insurance is available in both actual cash value (ACV) and replacement cost value (RCV). Knowing the difference is important:

Actual cash value: When valuing your personal possessions, an actual cash value policy will take depreciation into account. This means that your 10-year-old TV will be basically worthless according to your insurance company. While an ACV policy tends to be cheaper, if you have to make a claim you may be disappointed in your claim payout.

Replacement cost value: A RCV policy will replace your possessions with brand new items of similar quality regardless of how old they were at the time they were destroyed. While RCV policies are slightly more expensive, they are well worth the cost if you have to make a claim.
