๐ŸŽคIt's time to drop some Insurance knowledge- Coverage Corner style!

๐Ÿš—This month we're reviewing the difference between Personal and Business Auto policies.

๐Ÿš™Personal Auto Policies are written to cover vehicles owned by individuals, Business Auto Polices are written to cover cars and trucks owned and used by businesses.

๐ŸšœIt sounds straight forward enough but many cars are used for both business and personal use and this can get complicated. Insurance policies are written not to overlap or stack coverage. There are conditions and exclusions on both personal and commercial policies to prevent potential double coverage.

โ˜Ž๏ธItโ€™s important to talk to your agent about how you, or your employees, are using their vehicles to make sure your coverage is in line. Questions? Give us a call to review your Personal or Business Auto at 253-756-2000

We might not get any snow this weekend, but it's still cold out there! Make sure your home is equipped to survive these freezing temperatures! Read some cold weather tips from Pure Insurance below.

โ„๏ธFind your home's main water shut-off valve before the cold weather arrives. If you suspect that a pipe has frozen or that there is a leak, turn it off to prevent significant damage.
โ„๏ธSet your homeโ€™s thermostat to at least 65 degrees and open vanity and cabinet doors under sinks to allow warm air to reach enclosed pipes.
โ„๏ธIf you have a generator, make sure it is fueled up and working properly so that important home systems can continue running even if your area loses power.
โ„๏ธLook for signs of freezing on pipes, such as frost and condensation. Check the pipes in unheated areas of your home, such as those visible in the attic or garage.
โ„๏ธIf you lose power, turn a water faucet on to a drip to keep the water within your pipes moving and reduce the likelihood that they will freeze and burst. Do not leave water running if you leave your home.

Stay warm and safe!๐Ÿฅถ

Our Story

Did you know when PHE founder Frank Ekberg immigrated to the United States from Sweden in 1886 he had $1.50 to his name? Against the odds, he made it from New York City to Tacoma, WA where he saved enough money to purchase his own shop and started what is now know as Pilkey, Hopping & Ekberg Insurance. Frank prided himself on hard work, perseverance, and integrity and as the business was passed down from generation to generation, these values remained at the heart of the business.

Whether you are looking for business insurance (liability, professional, employee benefits), personal insurance (home, auto, boat), or individual insurance (life, disability, long term care) our friendly and caring staff are here and ready to assist you!

When we say "serving with integrity since 1896" we really mean it!
