Personal Umbrella

An umbrella policy is designed to protect you in the event of a major loss. It is an “excess liability” policy which provides additional limits of liability insurance over and above your underlying policies i.e. Massachusetts homeowners Insurance or Massachusetts auto insurance. They typically start at $1 million and can run up to $10 million or more.

If you think they’re just for rich people, you might want to reconsider. It’s not that difficult to imagine getting into an auto accident and having the unfortunate circumstances of hitting a carload of people. The damages could easily top $1 million dollars. The umbrella policy pays damages for bodily injury, property damage or personal injury for which the insured is legally responsible.

There are certain underlying and underwriting requirements needed in order to obtain the policy. First, you must carry specified limits on your underlying policies. For example, most insurance carriers would want you to maintain $250,000/$500,000 on your auto policy for “bodily injury to others” and $300,000 liability on your homeowner’s policy. You must also have a safe driving record and a good loss history.

The cost may surprise you as they generally start at $225.00 per year for $ 1 million of coverage. Ideally, you’ll never need the coverage but if you do, you’ll be happy for the coverage.

Protecting your House from Lightning

Fire caused by lightning accounts for more than a quarter billion dollars in property damage every year. Lightning is a peril covered under a Massachusetts Hone Owners Insurance policy. Below are some things you can do to protect your house from lightning.

Property Protection

The best safety rule is to install proper lightning protection. A number of specialty firms in your area can help you to design a protective system to safeguard your home. Any system you choose should be in accordance with guidelines set forth by groups such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Components of the system may include:

  • Installation of lightning rods on the roof of your home and large trees around your home to control and redirect the lightning’s damaging effects. This lightning rod system should be installed by a UL-listed company.
  • Installation of voltage surge suppressors to limit the exposure of electronic equipment to excessive voltage spurts.
  • Installation of surge arrestors to help divert power surges along utility lines away from source equipment.
  • Life Safety

    Your chances of getting struck by lightning during a thunderstorm are extremely small. Nevertheless, lightning is not an entirely predictable event. These precautions can reduce your risk even further:

    Get off high ground and away from tall trees.

  • Keep away from all metal fences and other metal objects.
  • If you are swimming or in a boat, make for the shore at once.
  • Never ride a horse or a bicycle in a thunderstorm. If you are driving, stay in your car. It is one of the safest places to be in a thunderstorm.
  • Lightning may enter a house through anything that conducts electricity. Do not handle electrical appliances during a storm and stay away from all parts of the plumbing system. It is also not advisable to use the telephone during a thunderstorm.

    Historic Homes

    Unfortunately old age affects more than just people. Homes get old and need some additional maintenance in order to prevent losses and filing claims.

    Here are some Preventive maintenance measures you can take if you have an old or historic home:

  • Make sure you get routine maintenance for all of the essential systems like electrical, plumbing and heating.
  • Since older homes have less insulation the probability of pipes freezing increases. Therefore, insulate pipes directly, shut off exterior faucets and make sure the temperature in the house is at a comfortable level.
  • If you begin to notice: cracked or missing mortar, loose bricks or stones, damp walls, or damaged plaster work begin repairing or re-pointing of mortar walls and chimneys.
  • Check during a rainstorm to see if gutters and downspouts are properly transferring water away from the house.
  • Get new insulation in the attic and also look to improve air ventilation on the attic.
  • Have all fuel lines checked for leakage.
  • Order an inspection of the roof to assess it’s condition.
  • Check the flashing around windows, skylights and chimneys to prevent rain from penetrating.

    Protection from Fire

    Fire is one of the most basic perils covered in your Massachusetts Homeowners Insurance Policy. Careful planning can often help you avoid loss or injury. Here are some steps you can take to help reduce the chance of loss or injury in the event of a fire.

    Precautionary Measures

  • Smoke detectors should be installed on each level of the house and outside every bedroom. It would be best to have detectors that are wired to a central alarm system so the signal can be heard throughout the house. If you have a battery system make sure the batteries are checked regularly and changed at least every six months.
  • Fire extinguishers should be kept in the kitchen, furnace, laundry room and garage. There should also be an extinguisher on each floor of your home.
  • Prepare and then practice an escape plan with your entire family.
  • Every family member should know two ways out of every room and they should also know every possible exit to the house.
  • Everyone should be educated and practice to unlock all doors and windows for quick escape.
  • Predetermine a meeting place outside your home. Use landmarks that everyone can remember.
  • Depending on the amount of usage you should have your chimney professionally inspected and cleaned at the beginning of each heating season This will clear out materials such as soot that cause chimney fires.
  • When using your fireplace use a fire screen to control flying embers and burn only quality seasoned hardwood.
  • Any ashes should be placed in a metal container and removed from the house immediately.
  • Install a spark arrestor for your chimney especially if you have a wood roof or live in a windy area.

    Risks During Renovation or Construction

    In addition to being a disturbance of daily living, building an addition or remodeling your home can bring about many risks of loss. The chances of fire and damage increases when renovation and construction is taking place. Here are some ways to reduce the risk of loss:

  • Have several portable fire extinguishers located through out the work area. Purchase multi-purpose extinguishers that weigh at least 10lbs and are well marked and easily visible.
  • Dust can trigger your alarms. Cover your fire and burglar alarms with plastic bags or tops versus disconnecting them.
  • Reduce chances of theft by using perimeter fencing, gates or chains across driveways, Motion-activated lighting, and security guards.
  • Work out with your contractor that all sawdust, containers, and other debris are removed from the site daily. Also if there is any paintings make sure the flammable materials like rags and solvents are removed.
  • Work out all these issues with your contractor
  • Speak to your insurance agent about premium savings associated with these protection strategies.

    Water in the Basement

    Since a Massachusetts Homeowners Insurance Policy does not include flood coverage it is important that you know the best ways to keep your basement from flooding. The two most common ways to get water in your basement is water coming in from the ground or rain and water coming in from a sewer backup. Usually only homes in low-lying areas are subjected to floods; however any home can be subjected to a sewer backup.

    One thing you can do to keep water from coming into your basement is to protect the outside of the basement windows with window well covers. It is also a good idea to grade soil away from the house and periodically clean out debris from rain gutters.

    If water does find it’s way into your basement buy a sump pump with an automatic switch and enough horsepower (usually 1/3). Make sure you do not store any valuable or keepsake property. If you do store furniture or other expensive property keep these items raised at least 6 inches off of the floor. Worse case scenario is you may have to install a drainage tank to hold excess water until the sewer system can absorb it.

    Keeping an inventory of Personal Property

    Per your Massachusetts Homeowners Insurance Policy it is the responsibility of the insured to prepare an inventory of damaged personal property after a loss. This inventory should show the description, quantity, actual cash value and the amount of the loss.

    Most of the time due to the trauma of the loss and remembering what you actually owned it is difficult for insured’s to prepare this inventory. The loss adjuster can provide some assistance but the ultimate responsibility for the inventory is with the insured. The best course of action is to have an inventory of all of your personal affects before any loss occurs. The inventory will also help you determine how much insurance you should purchase and in the event of a loss will allow you to settle your insurance claim most efficiently. In addition to the inventory you should take pictures of all personal property.

    More responsibilities of the Insured

    Your Massachusetts Homeowners Insurance Policy requires you to protect your property from further damage during a loss. You are also required to make reasonable and necessary repairs to protect your property from further loss. These repairs are reimbursable through your policy.

    Old Man Winter

    Unfortunately if you live in the Northeast you have to deal with “Old Man Winter”. That means ice, snow and wind. Your Massachusetts Homeowners Insurance Policy covers these perils, but there are precautions that you can take to reduce your exposure to these perils.

    One Problem you may encounter is the build up of ice and snow on your roof. This is usually caused by inadequate attic insulation. So the first step is properly insulating your attic floor. This will keep the attic cool as you do not want to have a warm attic. You only want the temperature in the attic to be about 5 degrees warmer than the outside temperature. Proper attic insulations will also help you save money on your heating bills in the process. It would also be a good idea to get a ventilator for the attic to help distribute the air evenly.

    Another problem you may encounter is frozen pipes. Since most of your plumbing is located in the outer walls most of the pipes are exposed to colder air than the temperature your thermostat is set. Given that it is possible your pipes can freeze even if your thermostat is set significantly above the freezing point. Here are some things you can do that will reduce your exposure to freezing pipes:

  • All unfinished rooms (including garages) should be properly insulated. In addition you should insulate the pipes.
  • All pipes that go to outdoor faucets should be shutoff at the end of the Fall season.
  • If you are away you can expose plumbing to warmer air by opening cabinets.

    Temporarily Renting Your home

    A friend of mind recently traveled around the country for one year. He did not want to leave his house vacant because it is dangerous and uninsurable under a Massachusetts Homeowners Policy. So he rented the house for one year. Here are some steps he took and you should take to help protect his property if you are going to rent it for the short term:

  • Make sure you tell your insurance agent that you are renting your house as coverage’s will change.
  • Get a property manager to watch over things while you are away.
  • Draw up a lease that are specific as to the time period, the number of people intended to occupy the house, whether or not you are going to let them have pets and the type of pets, the rent amount with default provisions and a security deposit amount.
  • Take pictures of your house before you leave. Take pictures of the rooms as well.
  • If you do not know the tenants personally make sure you get references and follow up on those references. Know exactly who is going to be living in your house.
  • Move all valuables and valuable personal effects out of the house. Either leave them with a relative or put them in a safe deposit box.
  • For a small fee you can maintain your phone number and not allow the new tenant access to it. That way the tenant will be required to get another phone number for themselves and you will not lose your phone number.
  • Let your neighbors know and give them your contact information in the event of an emergency.
  • You may want to consider changing your locks after the rental period.
