What kind of protection is included in Homeowners' Insurance?

Homeowners' insurance in Georgetown, Pawleys Island, Murrells Inlet, Surfside Beach, Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Little River, and more inland areas like Socastee, Forestbrook, Carolina Forest, Conway and Longs includes coverage for a variety of different but important circumstances.

Most homeowners’ insurance policies include:

Dwelling insurance pays to replace your home’s structure if it’s ever destroyed by fire, storm, or other causes of loss. When you purchase homeowners’ insurance coverage, make sure your policy’s limit is based on the replacement value of your home, which is often quite different than the market value. Also, inform your agent of any outbuildings. Your agent can tell you if the outbuildings are included with your policy or if you need additional protection. Also, alert your agent to any recent updates or remodeling, as these can increase your home’s replacement value. Lowcountry Insurance agents are happy to meet with you to discuss these details and help you get the right policy.
Contents/personal property coverage pays to replace the belongings in your home such as furniture, clothing, jewelry, and electronics. It’s a good idea to take an inventory of your belongings to ensure that your contents limit is high enough. Inform your local insurance agent of any unique or unusual valuables such as firearms, fine art, collections, expensive jewelry, or antiques. These items may require an added level of protection. In some cases, small boats (such as a drift boat) or equipment such as a riding lawnmower or tractor may be covered by your homeowners’ insurance policy. Alert your Lowcountry agent of every asset so they can determine the smartest home insurance strategy.
Liability insurance pays for damages if your negligence causes harm to someone else. Liability insurance is helpful to have in many unexpected situations, like when a visitor breaks an ankle tripping on your front step or if your dog bites a neighbor. If you operate a home-based business or entertain extensively at your home, let your Lowcountry agent know so they can address potential coverage gaps.

Two things that are not covered by your standard homeowners’ policy are the risks of flood and earthquake. If you think you may need earthquake or flood insurance (we can provide advice for Lowcountry South Carolina), ask your agent to prepare a quote for these risks. Flood insurance usually has a 30-day waiting period, so don’t wait until a storm is forecasted to request protection.

Whatever your home insurance needs, Lowcountry Insurance can help. We also offer coverage for condominiums, second homes, and vacation homes. Ask us for a free homeowners insurance or vacation home insurance quote today!

What is renters' insurance?

If you rent a home, apartment, or condo, renters' insurance is a must. This coverage reimburses you if your belongings are stolen or damaged by a covered cause of loss, such as fire. When you live in a multi-family structure like a condo or an apartment, you can be inadvertently impacted by your neighbors’ practices.

For example, if the person next door forgets to extinguish a candle or accidentally drops a cigarette, your belongings can be harmed. For this reason, renters' insurance is critical.

Lowcountry Insurance can help you find affordable, reliable renters' insurance in Pawleys Island, SC, and the surrounding area.
