If your house has flooded, once your local police or fire department says you can return, you’re in a race against mold growth to clear out debris from your home. You may find high humidity in your home, which is the perfect environment for mold and other bacteria to form. Flood water is commonly classified as Category 3, or black water. Understanding the science of black water will only help you reach your appropriate settlement(s).

Many home and business owners can see damage to their properties. However, most wind and hail damage cannot be seen.

If repairs take longer than the period of time covered by your policy, you may be eligible for additional assistance.

It can vary according to different factors, such as whether the dwelling has been rented to the tenants furnished or unfurnished, whether bills and taxes are included in the rent amount, and whether you provide the total lodging to the tenants. In a nutshell, the actual cash value of the property you rent out is determined by the amount of support you provide.
