What "storm coverage" actually means

Most homeowners assume their policy "covers storms." Broadly true — and dangerously vague. The details are what people discover only after something happens. Here's the plain-English version:

  • Wind damage — covered, but watch for a separate named-storm deductible (often 1–5% of insured value, not a flat amount).
  • Wind-driven rain through storm damage — generally covered.
  • Rising water (storm surge, flooding) — excluded from standard policies. Needs separate flood insurance.
  • Ice dams & frozen pipes — interior damage usually covered if the home was heated and maintained.
  • Weight of snow and ice — a standard covered peril.

Home FAQ

Common questions

Does homeowners insurance cover flooding in Connecticut?+

No. Standard homeowners policies exclude rising water — storm surge, overflowing rivers, flash flooding. Flood insurance is a separate policy. If you're near the coast or in a low-lying area, it's worth a serious conversation.

What is a named-storm deductible?+

Many Connecticut policies carry a separate deductible for named storms, often 1–5% of your home's insured value instead of a flat amount. On a $400,000 home, a 2% deductible means $8,000 out of pocket before coverage starts.

Does homeowners insurance cover ice dams?+

Most policies cover the interior water damage from ice dams, though roof coverage can be limited and insurers expect reasonable maintenance. Frozen and burst pipes are generally covered if the home was heated.

I'm a renter — do I really need insurance?+

Your landlord's policy covers the building, not your belongings — or your liability if something you do damages the unit. Renters insurance is usually very affordable and covers both.
