Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a home inventory important for insurance purposes?
A detailed home inventory is your most important tool for filing an accurate insurance claim after a fire, theft, flood, or other loss. Without documentation, most homeowners significantly underestimate what they own and receive less compensation than they are owed. An inventory supports your claim with evidence of ownership, estimated values, and proof of what was lost.
What should I include in a home inventory?
Document every significant item in your home: electronics and appliances (with model and serial numbers), furniture, jewelry and valuables, clothing collections, tools, sports and hobby equipment, art and collectibles, and outdoor items. Include purchase prices or estimated current values. Photograph or video-record each item and store documentation off-site or in the cloud.
How do I store my home inventory so it survives a disaster?
Store copies in multiple locations: a fireproof safe at home, a safe deposit box, with a trusted family member outside your area, and in secure cloud storage. A physical printed copy in an off-site location is the most reliable backup since it does not depend on internet access or device availability during or after a disaster.
