Summertime means celebrations, vacations, and various forms of get-togethers. Many families love nothing more than a family barbecue or a neighborhood party featuring hamburgers and hot dogs. Backyard grilling can easily lead to trouble, with a stray spark from a charcoal briquet catching dry grass or shrubbery on fire. What’s more, the insane heat waves that pass through Texas this time of year all but guarantee that your yard or garden could become kindling without much provocation. Even if you’re not playing with fire in your backyard, an electrical problem or a minor mishap on the part of a neighbor could easily put your property in harm’s way this summer.
Fire risk becomes even more of a concern if you plan on finally taking an extended road trip to see the U.S., visit distant friends, or participate in a family reunion. You won’t have a chance to snuff out a little fire in or around your property before it can blossom into disaster, as you might if you were actually there. If you were to come home to a destruction site, how easily could you rebuild? Would you be able to put up the homeowners’ insurance deductible without batting an eye, or would you find yourself in deep financial straits that level your bank account as well as your property?
Don’t wait for a combination of high temperatures and risky behavior to leave you holding the bag for extensive repairs. Contact DOP VIP and sign on for deductible offset protection today!
