Common Misconceptions About Insurance Claims

Choosing a company you trust, like 911 Restoration of Coastal Carolina, is essential.* **Misconception:** *Filing a claim will automatically increase your insurance premiums.* **Reality:** While filing a claim *can* potentially increase your premiums, it's not always the case.

Coastal Carolina: A Unique Environment and its Impact on Insurance Claims

Living in Coastal Carolina offers many benefits, but it also presents unique challenges when it comes to property damage and insurance claims.

High humidity levels also contribute to mold growth, further complicating the restoration process.Understanding these regional factors is crucial when navigating insurance claims in Coastal Carolina. Damage caused by hurricanes, for example, may be covered under your homeowner's insurance policy, but flood damage typically requires a separate flood insurance policy.
