Franklin Square Homes and Their Claims
The typical Franklin Square house is a mid-century home that has been updated more than once. That history matters on a claim, because insurers may price repairs to builder-grade materials even when the owner has since installed better flooring, cabinets or windows.
How Local Conditions Affect Franklin Square Claims
Away from the coast, the most common losses in Franklin Square are burst and frozen pipes, failed water heaters, appliance leaks and basement water. The remnants of Ida in September 2021 showed how fast heavy rain can flood basements far from the water, and whether a water backup endorsement is on the policy often decides those claims.
