The damage left behind by this hurricane has impacted countless homes and properties. In the wake of such a devastating event, homeowners must prioritize safety, assess damage, and begin the long process of recovery. The road to recovery from hurricanes like Milton can be overwhelming, but with the right approach, resources, and assistance, homeowners can get their lives back on track.

Hurricane Milton has brought strong winds, heavy rains, and possible tornadoes to Sumter County. Understanding the common types of hurricane damage can help you assess your property more effectively:

Roof Damage: Strong winds often cause shingles to come loose, roofs to cave in, or tiles to blow away. A damaged roof can lead to leaks and water damage inside the home.

Flooding: Heavy rains can lead to widespread flooding. Check your basement, crawlspaces, and any lower levels of your home for standing water. Flooding can cause structural damage and mold growth if not addressed quickly.

Wind Damage: Hurricanes bring intense winds that can cause significant destruction. Look for signs of damage to siding, windows, fences, and outdoor structures like sheds or garages.

Debris Impact: Flying debris, such as tree limbs, outdoor furniture, and other loose items, can strike your home, causing broken windows, dents, or even wall punctures.

Foundation Shifts: In rare cases, extreme flooding can cause shifts in a home’s foundation. Be on the lookout for new cracks in walls, ceilings, or floors as these could indicate deeper structural problems.

Once you have documented the damage to your property, the next step is to file an insurance claim. While it may seem straightforward, navigating the insurance claims process can be a challenge, especially when dealing with widespread storm damage like that caused by Hurricane Milton. Here's a step-by-step guide to filing a claim:

Contact Your Insurance Company – Notify your insurance provider as soon as possible. Be prepared to provide them with detailed information about the damage, including photos and videos. Keep in mind that insurance companies are often overwhelmed after a large-scale natural disaster, so it’s essential to act quickly.

Review Your Policy – Understand what your homeowner’s insurance covers and any deductibles that apply to hurricane or flood damage. Standard policies may not cover flood damage, so if you have flood insurance, be sure to file a separate claim.

Meet with the Adjuster – Your insurance company will send an adjuster to assess the damage. Be available to walk them through your home and point out all areas of concern. Keep a record of all communications with your insurance company.

Get Estimates for Repairs – Obtain multiple estimates from contractors for repairs. This will give you an idea of the cost and help you negotiate with your insurance company if needed.

Track Expenses – Keep all receipts for temporary repairs, hotel stays, meals, and other expenses incurred as a result of the hurricane. These may be reimbursable depending on your policy.
