Get Peace of Mind Before the Next Storm

When summer approaches in Oklahoma, it often brings more than sunshine and warmer temperatures. It can also mean severe thunderstorms, hail, damaging winds, heavy rain, and tornado threats.

For homeowners across Oklahoma City and throughout the state, now is the perfect time to review your homeowners insurance before storm season is in full swing.

Many families don’t realize they may have coverage gaps until after damage happens. A quick insurance review today can help protect your home, finances, and peace of mind tomorrow.

At Scott Webb - Anderson Insurance, we help Oklahoma homeowners understand their options and make confident decisions about coverage. As a family-owned independent agency serving Oklahoma for nearly two decades, we know how important it is to be prepared before the next storm arrives.

Why Oklahoma Homeowners Should Review Insurance Before Summer

Oklahoma weather can be unpredictable. Strong winds, hailstorms, lightning, flash flooding, and tornadoes can all cause costly property damage.

If it has been more than a year since you reviewed your homeowners insurance policy, there is a good chance your needs may have changed.

You may have:

• Renovated your home
• Added a fence, shed, or pool
• Purchased expensive electronics or jewelry
• Seen home rebuilding costs increase
• Changed mortgage requirements
• Experienced rising premiums

Reviewing your policy now can help prevent surprises later.

1. Confirm Your Dwelling Coverage Amount

Dwelling coverage helps pay to rebuild or repair your home if it is damaged by a covered loss. With rising labor and material costs, many Oklahoma homeowners are underinsured without realizing it.

Ask yourself:

• Would my policy fully rebuild my home today?
• Have construction costs increased since my last renewal?
• Have I added square footage or upgrades?

If your home would cost more to rebuild than your current policy limit, it may be time for an update.

2. Review Your Wind and Hail Deductible

In Oklahoma, wind and hail claims are common. Some homeowners policies have separate deductibles for these events, and they may be higher than your standard deductible.

Make sure you understand:

• What your wind/hail deductible is
• Whether it is a flat amount or percentage-based
• How much you would pay out of pocket after a storm

Knowing this now helps you prepare financially if damage occurs.

3. Check Roof Coverage Details

Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home during storm season.

Not all policies cover roofs the same way.

Important questions include:

• Is my roof covered for replacement cost or actual cash value?
• Are older roofs subject to limitations?
• Is hail damage fully covered?
• Are cosmetic damages excluded?

Understanding roof coverage can save significant stress during claims season.

4. Make Sure Personal Property Limits Still Fit Your Needs

Homeowners insurance also helps cover belongings like furniture, electronics, appliances, clothing, and more.

If you have recently purchased:

• TVs or computers
• Jewelry
• Collectibles
• Home office equipment
• New furniture

…it may be time to review your personal property coverage and any special endorsements needed.

5. Ask About Water Damage and Flood Risk

Many homeowners assume all water damage is covered. That is not always true.

Standard homeowners insurance may cover certain sudden water losses, but flood damage is typically excluded and requires separate coverage.

With heavy summer rain and flash flooding possible in parts of Oklahoma, it is smart to ask:

• Do I need flood insurance?
• What types of water damage are covered?
• Are sewer backups included?

This is one of the most misunderstood parts of homeowners insurance.

6. Review Liability Protection

Liability coverage helps protect you if someone is injured on your property or if you accidentally cause damage to others.

Summer often means:

• Backyard gatherings
• Pools and trampolines
• Kids playing outside
• Guests visiting more often
• Outdoor projects and contractors on-site

If your liability limits are low, increasing them may be worth considering.

7. Compare Your Premium and Discounts

Many Oklahoma homeowners renew automatically each year without comparing options. That can mean missed savings opportunities.

Potential discounts may include:

• Bundling home and auto insurance
• Security systems
• Newer roof materials
• Claims-free history
• Multi-policy discounts

As an independent agency, Scott Webb - Anderson Insurance can compare coverage options from multiple carriers to help you find the right balance of protection and price.
