Hailstorms and Flood Risks: Why Homeowners and Auto Policyholders Should Review Comprehensive Coverage 

Severe weather is a fact of life in Texas, with hailstorms and flooding posing significant risks to both homes and vehicles. As these weather events become more frequent and intense, it’s more important than ever for Texas residents to ensure their insurance coverage is up to date.

Understanding Hailstorm and Flood Risks in Texas

Texas consistently ranks among the top states for hailstorm damage, with storms capable of causing extensive harm to roofs, siding, windows, and vehicles. Flooding is also a growing concern, especially during heavy rains and hurricane season. Even areas not traditionally considered flood-prone can experience sudden water damage.

Why Comprehensive Coverage Matters

For homeowners:

• Standard homeowners insurance typically covers hail damage but often excludes flood damage.
• Flood insurance is usually a separate policy, available through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or private insurers.
• Reviewing your policy can help you identify gaps and ensure you have the right protection for both hail and flood risks.

For auto policyholders:

• Comprehensive auto insurance covers damage to your vehicle from non-collision events, including hail and flooding.
• Without comprehensive coverage, you may be responsible for costly repairs or replacement if your car is damaged by severe weather.

When to Review Your Policies

We recommend reviewing your homeowners and auto insurance policies regularly, including:

• Before storm season begins
• After making home improvements or purchasing a new vehicle
• If you’ve recently moved or your risk profile has changed
