Are you diligent about maintaining your car? Changing the oil regularly, replacing filters when needed? Well, just like your car, your home craves some TLC, too.

Homeowner's Insurance: What You Think is covered but isn't

Have you ever taken the time to actually ready your homeowner's insurance policy? Chances are that you haven't - why would you? Just legal jargon, correct?

Unfortunately not and we don't want that to surprise you after a costly and painful loss at home. Read below to understand the key differences between what is covered and what isn't. Or more importantly, when it's covered and when it isn't...

Understand the Key Differences Between What Is Covered When


When Disaster Strikes: Why Your Home’s Biggest Threat Might Be Neglect

The conditions leading can be just as critical as the loss itself. Insurance companies believe that you are responsible for general maintenance and upkeep of your property including getting up on your roof, going into crawl spaces and everything in between 

What does this mean? It means slow leaks from your roof, pipes, water heater are your responsibility - only sudden leaks are covered.  If your skylights weren't properly flashed, soffits are dislodged, or siding rots, you are likely out of luck. Yes, even climbing onto your roof is part of the expectation.

How about animal damage? Unless a bear or a moose rams your house, you're on your own. Issues like infestations or squirrels chewing through attic wiring? Not covered. Rewiring your home due to a squirrel "party" can cost you dearly. 

Then there's rot and mold - silent disasters that insurance won't touch. While surface-level rot or shingles may seem minor, hidden damage like rotted beams and mold growth beneath then surface can lead to massive, uncovered losses. Never underestimate "small" signs of decay. 

Some of the things that likely aren't covered.

  • Slow leaks from pipes, roofing, rot, and foundation cracks
  • Damage caused by roof with moss, leaves or curled shingles
  • Basement water damage - unless you have specific flood insurance. If you have a sump pump, make sure you have coverage and test it
  • Rot of any kind and rot spreads dangerously, especially behind vinyl and clapboards
  • Overflow, icicles and falls from clogged gutters
  • HVAC system failures due to lack of maintenance or old age
  • Deck and porch collapse due to rot and other structural issues
  • Skylight leaks from improper installation or upkeep
  • Frozen pipes due to lack of insulation
  • Chimney damage due to mortar cracks or missing caps unless the chimney has been regularly maintained
  • And more...

Security and Peace of Mind

With our regular inspections, your property remains a less enticing target for unwanted attention for animals, rot, mold.
