Attics Can Lead to Home Insurance Claims


WEBWIRE

Chicago (InsuranceAgents.com) – Whoever knew that your attic can cost you your heard-earned money if not taken care of? More than just a place to store you junk in, your home’s attic also serves as the buffer zone between your roof and the top floor. A recently published article on InsuranceAgents.com explains how an attic can cause a homeowner’s insurance premium to increase, especially if you don’t take care of the attic floor, attic ceiling, and the attic’s ventilation.

“Aside from properly insulating your attic from top to bottom, it is also important to properly ventilate your attic,” the article, Homeowners Insurance: Secure Your Attic, Secure Your Home, reports. “This prevents condensation and heat build up which could lead to wood rot.”

Not properly insulating your attic’s ceiling and ventilation system can cause very expensive repairs later on. An improperly insulated attic paired with a leaky roof can cause water damage in your attic that may filter all the way down to the structure of your home, damaging it.

InsuranceAgents.com suggests homeowners take proper care of their attic to avoid unnecessary costs. “[I]f you neglect your attic it could lead to negative repercussions for your house which could then lead to having to deal with a homeowners insurance claim which nobody ever wants to have to do deal with,” the article states. “If you take the care in properly insulating your attic from top to bottom and ventilating it then you won’t have to worry about a leaky roof ruining the structure of your home.”

Contact your home insurance agent to see if your attic is currently covered. If it’s not, make sure you do everything in your power to make it protected against unfortunate circumstances. By shopping online for homeowners insurance quotes, you can find affordable and convenient coverage today. Visit InsuranceAgents.com for further information.
