☀️ Insurance Fun Fact: Extreme heat can do more damage than you think.

During heat waves, claims often spike from things like:
• AC units overworking and breaking down
• Power surges after outages
• Asphalt shingles aging faster
• Decks and fences warping or cracking
• Hidden pipe leaks from ground shifting in drought conditions

And here’s the big one…most standard homeowners policies help with sudden covered damage, but not normal wear, lack of maintenance, or old systems finally giving out in the heat.

A quick seasonal check on your HVAC, filters, and outdoor fixtures can save you a huge headache later 🔥🏠

🏡 Insurance Fun Fact: Your home is insured based on the cost to rebuild it NOT its Zillow value.

A lot of people are surprised to learn this! Your home’s market value and rebuild cost are actually two very different numbers.

Market value includes things like:
• Location
• School district
• Land value
• Housing market trends

But homeowners insurance focuses on what it would cost to rebuild your home from the ground up after a covered loss using today’s labor and material costs. 🔨

That means two homes with the same Zillow value could need very different amounts of coverage depending on:
• Square footage
• Custom finishes
• Roofing/materials
• Local construction costs
• Age of the home

With material and labor prices constantly changing, it’s important to review your coverage regularly to make sure your home is properly protected.

Have you ever heard the difference between market value and rebuild cost before? 👀

🍃 Insurance Fun Fact 🍃

Home insurance is designed for sudden and accidental losses…not preventable maintenance issues.

That means if a storm suddenly sends a healthy tree crashing onto your roof, you’re likely covered. But if a dead tree or low hanging branch has been ignored for years and causes damage, that may not be covered.

A few simple things that can help protect your home:
• Trim low hanging branches
• Clean gutters regularly
• Fix small leaks before they grow
• Remove dead trees or limbs
• Keep up with routine maintenance

Taking care of the little things now can help prevent major headaches later 👏

Pool days = the best days… as long as they’re SAFE days, too ☀️💦

A few simple safety features can make a big difference when it comes to protecting your family and your home:

✔️ In-ground pools should have a secure electric cover
✔️ Above-ground pools should have a deck with a locked gate

These precautions help prevent accidents and give you peace of mind while you enjoy your pool all season long.

At American Family, safety is always a priority, which is why we encourage these added layers of protection for pool owners.

Have questions about your coverage or how to keep your space safe? We’re always here to help
