United States, 7th Feb 2024, King NewsWire - As winter grips many parts of the United States with cold temperatures, snowstorms, and heavy rainfall, it's essential to take proactive steps to protect your property and prevent weather-related insurance claims. According to the Insurance Information Institute, almost one in 50 homes experiences water damage or damage caused by freezing every year, with repair costs averaging around $12,514. This makes it crucial to safeguard your home and vehicle against potential damage. Here are four valuable tips to help you stay safe and minimize the risk of costly insurance claims this winter.1.

Driving through flooded areas can not only lead to significant vehicle damage but also pose serious safety hazards.2.
