Independent Means We Work for YOU!
 We LOVE what we do at RSS Insurance!
We love that we are TOTALLY different from almost ALL of the other insurance agencies out there. We come across many people who are completely unfamiliar with the term and concept of an independent insurance agency. They want to know which insurance company we represent. Are we Farmers? State Farm? Geico? We always answer with a big, resounding NO!
We represent over 60 insurance carriers!
We offer so much more and in our opinion, what we provide is so much better than any of the direct agents out there. We'd like to explain to you the differences between independent agencies (like RSS) and direct writer agencies and why we think we have so much more to offer our clients. CLICK HERE to read about what makes us so different!
In a nutshell, as an independent agent we get to do what we love...helping our clients protect what matters most to them by offering numerous options and coverages! To us, independent means we work for you! We know we would never want to be limited by being able to offer only one insurance coverage and price option. So we ask you, "Why would YOU ever want to be offered only one option when shopping for insurance?"

Severe Storm Season is Here
Do You Know How to Check Your Property for Storm Damage?
If you've lived in Colorado very long you know how violent many of our wind, hail and thunderstorms can be. Within a moments notice, rumbling thunder turns into damaging winds, destructive hail and flooding gutters and roadways. When one of these storms hit your neighborhood or business, you most likely hunker down inside relying on your home or property to protect you, your family, or your employees and coworkers.
Once that storm passes we typically step outside to determine if and how badly our property has been damaged. But do you really know how to assess the damage to your home or your business property? Please
read about the four major things that our agency recommends you check after a storm to determine if you have damage or may need to turn in a claim.

What You Need to Know About Water Backup
Water backup: What's covered, what's not
 Water backup is one of the most common causes of loss for homeowners, but also one of the most misunderstood. While most people understand and know that flooding caused by mother nature and outside weather forces is not covered by their homeowners insurance (for this type of water damage a flood policy must be in place for insurance coverage), most are not certain about what water damage caused by water backup and overflow is covered by their homeowners insurance policy.
We've provided several helpful, real-life examples of water damage caused by backup and overflow on our RSS blog to help demonstrate what is and is not covered by most homeowners insurance policies. If you have any questions at all, or would like one of our agents or trained insurance team to review your homeowners policy with you to verify that you have the proper or extended coverages, please contact our office. As always, we are more than happy to help advise you!
