As Storm Éowyn approaches Ireland with a red weather warning, Peopl Insurance has advised homeowners to secure outdoor furniture and review their insurance policies. Damage from flying items like trampolines can be expensive, with repair costs potentially reaching thousands of euros. Spokesperson Dominic Lumsden emphasized that insurers may not cover damage to unsecured garden items during storms. Homeowners are encouraged to store such items indoors or secure them. Additionally, flat roof maintenance is essential as many insurers impose strict conditions for storm damage coverage on poorly maintained roofs.
We've seen cases where trampolines have been blown onto roads, train tracks, or even electricity lines during extreme weather.
While most home insurers cover damage from storms, this may be limited to structures like sheds and outbuildings, and not extend to garden furniture.
By taking proactive steps now, homeowners can avoid costly repairs and reduce the risks associated with Storm Eowyn.
