Hail and Windstorm Coverage
Wind and hail are the leading causes of home insurance claims in Texas, especially along the Gulf Coast. In Rockport, strong winds and heavy storms are a regular concern. Adding windstorm protection to your policy helps pay for repairs if your roof, siding, or windows are damaged by a hurricane, hailstorm, or tropical system. Without it, repair costs can quickly become overwhelming, particularly during storm season.
Water Backup Coverage
A backed-up drain, sump pump failure, or clogged sewer line can lead to major cleanup costs and property loss. Standard home insurance doesn’t include coverage for this type of event, but adding a water backup endorsement provides an affordable safeguard. Coverage usually starts around $5,000 and can go up to $25,000, with average rates ranging from $50 to $250 per year.
Flood Insurance
Many homes in Rockport sit in areas that experience frequent flooding. Flood insurance is a separate policy that pays for repairs and replaces belongings damaged by rising water. Since homeowners insurance doesn’t cover flood damage, it’s a wise choice for local residents. The average flood insurance policy in Texas costs around $634 annually, but rates vary depending on location and elevation.
Most standard home policies cover your dwelling, other structures on the property, personal belongings, and liability protection. They also cover additional living expenses if your home becomes temporarily uninhabitable after a covered event.
Homes located in high-risk flood zones and financed through a mortgage typically require flood coverage. Even if you’re outside these areas, Rockport’s proximity to the coast makes flood insurance a smart investment.
Savings may be available for bundling home and auto coverage, adding a security system, installing storm shutters, upgrading your roof, or maintaining a claims-free record. Wind mitigation features such as impact-resistant windows may also help lower your premium.
No. Damage from saltwater intrusion or storm surge is excluded from standard policies. Flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or a private carrier is the best option for that type of protection.
Using wind-resistant roofing materials, reinforcing garage doors, installing hurricane straps, trimming trees, and improving drainage systems can reduce the risk of damage and help you qualify for better rates.
