After 40 years of helping families in the Coastal Bend, I can tell you the biggest mistake I see homeowners make is assuming flood damage is covered by their home insurance. It’s not.
Here’s the truth:
Standard homeowners insurance does not cover flood damage. Not from heavy rain, not from tidal surge, and not even during a named tropical storm or hurricane.
And down here in South Texas, when it rains—it floods.
You’ve trusted us with your home insurance, let’s make sure you’re fully protected. We’ve helped thousands of families across Corpus Christi and the Gulf Coast get real flood insurance—before disaster strikes.

Because We Care
Unprotected Frozen Water Pipes!
As winter’s icy grip continues to descend upon South Texas, it’s time to take proactive steps to protect your home, loved ones and pets from the freezing temperatures. Don’t let this freeze catch you unprepared—take action now to safeguard your home, your family, and your finances from potential damage caused by ice, snow, and harsh winds.
Here are 10 Essential Tips to help you prepare before the freeze hits:
Set your thermostat to at least 65°F to keep your home warm and prevent pipes from freezing and remember to bring in your pets too.
Allow both hot and cold water to drip slightly. This small step can help prevent your pipes from freezing.
Wrap exposed pipes in insulation, especially in crawl spaces, unheated rooms, garages, and exterior walls.
Keep kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors open to allow warm air to circulate around pipes.
Ensure your fireplace, stoves, and space heaters are in good working condition and ready for use.
If you’re not using your fireplace, make sure the flue is closed to prevent cold air from entering your home.
Keep sidewalks, driveways, and entryways clear of snow and ice to prevent accidents and ensure safe access.
Monitor your roof and gutters for ice dams, which can cause significant water damage if not addressed.
Remove weak or broken tree branches that could fall under the weight of ice or snow, potentially causing property damage.
Have your insurance company’s claims number readily available in case you experience damage. Be prepared to file a claim to protect your assets.
Please Pass this vital information along to your neighbors, family, and friends. Preparation is the key to minimizing winter’s impact, and together, we can weather this storm. Call us at (361) 991-3575 for additional information or to make sure your protection is up to date.
Stay safe and warm!
