One of the qualities that make Cayuga Mutual different from other insurance companies is our Loss Prevention Program. Our loss prevention officers do a visual home inspection of each property focusing on areas that may be susceptible to a claim. After that, we make recommendations and suggestions as to how to address items our inspections may find. The purpose of our Loss Prevention Program is simple – We want to keep you safe by identifying potential hazards, and we want to help you save money.
Covered Areas during Home Inspection
When looking at loss prevention, our loss prevention officers inspect 4 key areas of your home:
- Your Homes Roof
Checking your homes roof allows our inspectors to identify any potential weather damage during extreme weather conditions.
- Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector Locations
Checking your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors helps keep you and your home safe. We also offer access to type ABC fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, and carbon monoxide detectors at a cost, just let us know before your appointment.
- Electrical System, Panel, GFIC Plugs, and Extension cords
Visual inspections of all electrical systems, panels, plugs, and cords help our inspectors identify areas of potential risks.
- Heating Systems (Main and Auxiliary)
