💡 Five Town Homes & Living — Homeowners in the affected zones should immediately document all structural damage with date-stamped photos and contact their insurance carriers to initiate claims before the post-storm backlog intensifies. Property owners near the shoreline need to verify the integrity of their flood barriers and basement sump pumps, as the recent surge likely compromised drainage systems that are critical for preventing long-term water intrusion. Reviewing your specific policy for ‘wind-driven rain’ versus ‘flood’ coverage is a vital step to understanding your financial liability for these repairs. **We are here to help you navigate the complexities of property damage assessments and insurance documentation to ensure your home remains a secure asset.**
