Is Your Church's Audio Equipment Really Covered By Your Insurance Policy?

Host Ron Wadley of Insurance for Texans discusses how Texas hailstorms can lead to roof damage and water intrusion that destroys a church’s sound system. He explains that church property insurance separates building coverage from business personal property (sound systems, lighting, projectors, instruments, and technical equipment) and that these contents often have limits. Limits such as electronic equipment sublimits, or actual cash value settlement that reduces payouts through depreciation. The episode highlights the importance of inventory, valuation, and considering Inland Marine coverage to better protect high-value audio equipment from restrictive sublimits and exclusions.
