Insurance loopholes you need to protect yourself against.

SERVPRO® of Spencer and Iowa Great Lakes, a local cleanup and restoration company, along with Community Insurance will be providing a free lunch and learn for realtors, property managers as well as the general public. This educational program will take place at the Holiday Inn & Suites in Spencer on Thursday, June 14 from 12:00 – 1:00 PM and a light lunch will be provided.

The session will cover the different types of insurance homeowners should be adding to their homeowner’s policy in the case of ground-water, water back-up, sump pump failure and/or sewer backup entering their basement.

“There is a million ways water can get into your home, but what homeowners don’t always understand is what type of coverage they need in each case. Many times, SERVPRO professionals visit a home with water damage and the homeowner is upset when their policy does not cover the water damage,” shared Lathe Toft, owner of SERVPRO of Spencer and Iowa Great Lakes.

Scott Simpson, President of Community Insurance continued, “We are delighted that SERVPRO called our team to help educate home and business owners understand their policies better. It’s our goal to help policyholders take a deeper look at their policies before they have a major damage occur. Not knowing what’s in your policy can have serious financial consequences.”

Class size is limited, so SERVPRO is asking those interested to RSVP by calling their office at (712) 262-4379 or email vmoore@SERVPROspencer.com.
