What are the odds that you file a damage claim for your home in 2024? Statistics indicate that about one in 20 insured homeowners will. “The top four causes of property damage are wind, hail, water and freezing,” explains Jason Blair, President of Paul Davis Restoration Sud Ouest/Rive Sud, Quebec, who adds that house fires are less common but far costlier to mitigate and restore. “Whatever the reason for the damage, 100 percent of the homeowners who call for help say the same thing when we arrive onsite: ‘I never thought it would be my house.’”
Statistics back up the “it won’t happen to me” belief. Fewer than half of homeowners have an inventory of possessions to help document loss in case of disaster. The same number are unsure what their policies cover. One in 10 cavalierly rolls the dice: they don’t carry homeowners insurance at all.
