Floods, Fires & Storms: Do You Have the Right Protection?

Every season brings a new set of hazards for Illinois families and businesses. Are you certain your insurance covers what matters most?

Why Local Protection is Different (and Better!)

  • Personal service: With Edward Wilkins Insurance, you’re never a number—real coverage, real people, no call centers.
  • Coverage that fits your zip code, not a big-box template: We live here and know what Frankfort, Tinley Park, Mokena, and New Lenox homeowners actually face.
  • Preventing coverage gaps: Our team educates you on what’s not in ordinary policies—like flood, fire, or storm exclusions.

Don’t Let Coverage Gaps Devastate Your Future

When disaster strikes—whether it’s a flash flood, electrical fire, or derecho storm—a single claim can mean the difference between recovery and financial jeopardy.

Many Illinois policies do not include flood or wildfire coverage by default! Are you sure you’re protected?

Real-Life Story: A Tinley Park homeowner thought “storm coverage” meant any storm. After a major basement flood, she learned her plan excluded water backup. One conversation with our team could have saved thousands.

How AI & Modern Insurance Agencies Make You Safer

  • Predictive risk analysis: With AI-powered risk tools, we help you identify your true vulnerabilities—before disaster hits.
  • Faster, smarter service: Wilkins leverages advanced CRM and automation to deliver instant claim help and ongoing plan reviews.
  • Local insight, powered by tech: Our expertise blends Frankfort area experience with the latest insurance intelligence.

What Should You Review Today?

  1. Your Home Policy: Check for exclusions on flood, wildfire, and sewer backup. Don’t assume anything.
  2. Your Business or Rental Coverage: Is your location in a new flood zone? Are improvements and inventory fully covered?
  3. Your Lifestyle Assets: Boats, motorcycles, RVs—have they been appraised or added to your umbrella?

Let’s Protect Your World — Not Just Your House

At Edward Wilkins Insurance, our job is to spot risk before it’s real, and advocate on your behalf—so you’re not left hoping your policy “probably covers it.”Choose clarity, not cookie-cutter coverage.
