Will Insurance Cover Your Storm-Damaged Dock or Seawall?

This is the first question every homeowner asks. Here's the honest breakdown.

What's typically covered

Sudden storm damage — broken pilings, torn decking, seawall displacement caused directly by a named storm — is often covered under Florida homeowner's policies. The key is proper documentation from a licensed contractor.

What's typically not covered

Gradual deterioration — rot, erosion, concrete deterioration — is almost never covered, even if a storm made it worse. We'll tell you honestly what we think is claimable when we assess your property.
