Coverages to Consider
Common add-ons not included in your current policy
Ordinance or Law Coverage
Pays for the extra cost to rebuild or repair your home to current building codes after a covered loss. This is important because older homes often don't meet today's requirements.
Replacement Cost on Personal Property
Reimburses you for the cost to replace your belongings with new items, not their depreciated value. This helps you recover fully after a loss instead of settling for less.
Water Backup & Sump Overflow
Covers damage caused by water backing up through drains or sump pump failures. These losses are typically excluded from standard homeowners policies.
Equipment Breakdown Coverage
Covers sudden mechanical or electrical failure of major home systems and appliances. It helps pay for repairs or replacement not caused by wear and tear or age alone.
Service Line Coverage
Covers repair or replacement of underground utility lines like water, sewer, or electric that run from the street to your home. Repairs can be expensive and are usually the homeowner's responsibility.
Identity Theft Coverage
Helps cover expenses related to restoring your identity after fraud, such as legal fees, lost wages, and credit monitoring. It provides support and reimbursement during a stressful and time-consuming recovery process.
