What Goes Wrong on Oyster Bay Cove Claims
Being close to Oyster Bay Harbor means flood exposure. Low-lying streets near the water may fall in FEMA-mapped flood zones, and a mortgage lender may require flood insurance there. When a storm causes both wind and flood damage, documenting each part separately protects both claims.
With heavy tree cover in Oyster Bay Cove, fallen trees and limbs are a common source of roof, siding and fence damage. Insurers may argue a tree was diseased or that damage to landscaping is capped by a low sublimit, so photos of the tree and the break point help.
Check your address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center to see whether your Oyster Bay Cove home is in a mapped flood zone, and keep your flood and homeowners policies together.
