Roof and hail
Larger homes with complex roofs mean storm repairs are costly and careful documentation matters.
Water and basements
Large finished basements make sump failures expensive.
Sewer backup
Solon operates its own Water Reclamation Facility, which discharges to Beaver Meadow Creek, a Tinkers Creek tributary. Backups are less common in newer areas, but sump overflow and drain backup in finished basements can still be costly, so check that your endorsement limit is high enough.
