What Homes in Hampton Bays Are Like
Because Hampton Bays mixes single-family homes with two-family houses and condominiums, a loss can involve more than one policy at once: a homeowners or HO-6 policy, a dwelling policy on a rented unit, or a building's master policy.
How Local Conditions Affect Hampton Bays Claims
Storm surge and tidal flooding are the main threat for homes near Shinnecock Bay, Tiana Bay and Great Peconic Bay. Standard homeowners policies exclude flood, so flood damage usually goes to a separate NFIP or private flood policy, while wind and wind-driven rain stay with the homeowners carrier. After a storm, expect the two insurers to argue over the line between them.
Check your address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center to see whether your Hampton Bays home is in a mapped flood zone, and keep your flood and homeowners policies together.
