How Can Condo Insurance Help Owners During the Winter?

Oregon winters can be beautiful, but they also bring risks for condo owners. At World of Insurance LLC, we want to help condo owners understand these seasonal hazards and how the right insurance coverage can offer valuable financial protection.

What Hazards Do Condo Owners Face in the Winter?

Here are some common issues that condo owners have during the winter months:

1. Frozen pipes: Water pipes can freeze and burst, causing significant damage to your unit and potentially affecting neighboring properties. Even a small leak can lead to expensive repairs if not addressed quickly.
2. Roof damage: Heavy rain, snow and ice can put extra stress on condo roofs. Ice dams may also form along the edges, preventing melting snow from draining properly and leading to leaks or structural damage.
3. Slip-and-fall accidents: Icy walkways and entryways increase the risk of slip-and-fall injuries for residents and guests.

How Condo Insurance Can Help

Condo insurance, also known as HO-6 insurance, can offer financial protection in case of unforeseen damage or liability. It can offer coverage for the following:

• Repair or replacement of your personal belongings, such as appliances, clothes, electronics or furniture if damaged by a covered event
• Damage to your unit caused by a covered winter risk, such as water from a burst pipe or leaking roof
• Relevant expenses if a third-party is injured in your unit or you’re held liable for damage to someone else’s property
• Relevant costs if your condo association issues a special assessment for shared property damage, such as roof repairs after a storm
