DOES HOME INSURANCE COVER DRIVEWAY REPAIR?

Is Driveway Damage Covered by Home Insurance?

Yes — if the damage is caused by a covered peril, like a storm or falling tree, your home insurance may cover repairs, subject to your policy limits and deductible.

What Counts as a Covered Peril?

Common covered events include storms, fires, hail, and tornadoes. If a tree crashes on your driveway during a storm, you may be eligible for coverage.

What’s Not Covered?

Insurance typically won’t cover damage from earthquakes, floods, mudslides, settling, or neglect. These require additional or separate policies.

Check for Exclusions and Endorsements

Always review your policy for state-specific exclusions. Consider endorsements or supplemental policies for broader protection, including flood and earthquake coverage.

Repair vs. Replacement: Know the Value

Your policy may reimburse actual cash value or replacement cost. Replacement cost pays more — actual cash value deducts for depreciation.
