Across the nation, there are plenty of disasters. From hurricanes to tornadoes to flooding and severe storms, there are only a few disasters that the U.S.A doesn't experience. As well as mayhem and interruption of daily life, these incidents can cause significant damage to properties. For this, homeowners insurance in Antioch steps in to help cover the cost of restoring your home and belongings the way they were.
While most homeowners insurance policies will protect your home and belongings through disasters, every policy has its limits. A standard policy may cover:
Common disasters that are not covered by homeowners insurance include:
Floods
Flood damage is generally excluded under standard homeowners and renters insurance policies. You may purchase insurance in the form of a separate policy from the National Flood Insurance Program so that you can get assistance should your home face damage from a flood.
Earthquakes
Earthquake coverage can be a separate policy or an endorsement in your homeowners policy. It's worth obtaining such coverage when located in an area or state that is prone to earthquakes.
Sewer Back-Up
Sewer backups or the inability of sump pumps to handle runoff water from major downspouts are not covered under a typical homeowners insurance policy, nor are they covered by flood insurance. This coverage must be purchased either as a separate product or as an endorsement to a homeowners policy.
