Introducing the Murphy Insurance Condominium Owner’s Manual: Your Guide to Preventing Costly Condo Repairs & Damages

Wayne Texeira

For many people, buying a condominium can be one of the largest investments they will ever make. It is a source of pride, comfort, and financial security. However, a condominium also comes with ongoing maintenance responsibilities, and the reality that unexpected damage or repairs to the unit can disrupt their life and strain their budget.

That’s why Murphy Insurance Agency is proud to introduce our brand-new Condominium Owner’s Manual: Your Guide to Preventing Costly Condo Repairs & Damages.

This comprehensive resource was created to help condo owners like you stay ahead of problems before they turn into expensive insurance claims. It is part of our commitment to not only protect what matters most but also to help you avoid risk in the first place.

“This manual isn’t just a checklist—it’s a tool built on the thousands of claim situations we have seen over the years. We understand what tends to go wrong in condos, the risks that are often overlooked, and which maintenance steps truly make a difference.”

The Murphy Insurance Experience

We have taken decades of experience helping clients navigate everything from frozen pipes to fire damage and turned that knowledge into a practical, proactive guide. We see the patterns, the most common causes of condominium claims, and the issues that could have been prevented with just a little foresight. This manual is designed to share knowledge, enabling you to take care of your home with confidence.

Built around real-world insight, the Condo Owner’s Manual offers clear, actionable tips on how to maintain your property. Learn how to avoid common and costly issues. Topics include:

  • Plumbing and water damage prevention
  • HVAC system maintenance for comfort and efficiency
  • Electrical and fire safety tips to reduce hazards
  • Pest control and outdoor maintenance
  • Emergency preparedness
  • Plus: A month-by-month home maintenance checklist

Protect Your Condominium and Your Biggest Investment
From the seasonal tasks that can make or break your winter to simple upgrades that improve safety and energy efficiency, the guide is packed with advice to help condo owners protect their property year-round.

What sets this manual apart is its foundation in real claims data and firsthand experience from Murphy Insurance’s team of agents. Every recommendation is based on what we know works—from reducing the likelihood of water damage to minimizing the chance of liability issues on your property.

And while proactive maintenance can’t prevent every issue, it can significantly reduce your chances of needing to file a claim—and in some cases, even lower your premiums.
