Making your home safe and secure: Depart worry-free
There’s a lot to consider about a home and assets when planning a trip. Taking the right precautions ensures that your home will be safe and secure while you’re away.
Case Study 1:
While a Chubb client was out of town, a water supply line in the second story master bathroom burst. Water ran for multiple days, creating extensive damage to almost 75% of the home's living space. Chubb paid claim of $1.6 million to cover the damages, and included the installation of an automatic water shut-off device to prevent future water damage incidents.
Case Study 2:
A Chubb client was traveling when a severe cold snap caused pipes to freeze and burst, flooding the entire house. While the home was being repaired, Chubb provided accomodations similar to the current home. Chubb also had no problem, when the client hired the original decorator to make sure the artwork and custom furniture was properly packed to move securely.
Case Study 3:
When a Chubb client was away, she received a call from the alarm company to advise that the smoke detectors had been set off. Since the air conditionming was on at the time the fire started, it contaminated the entire venting and HVAC system. Beyond Chubb waiving the deductible, we ensured the family maintained their standard of living while repairs were being made.

Case study 2:
Upon returning from vacation, a client noticed that her Chanel purse had been stolen out of her luggage.
