Your home is the center of your life and family. Making sure it is covered for any hazard gives you peace of mind. Home insurance offers a lot of protection from some of the most common threats, including fire, theft, and storms. But, home insurance has exclusions, things it doesn’t cover. If you want to have true peace of mind, you need to know what these hazards are and decide if additional coverage is required. In Easton, PA, you can count on Valor Insurance to create a long-term relationship built on trust.
Lack of maintenance
As the homeowner, you have the responsibility to maintain your home. If you get infested with terminates, your home insurance won’t pay for the necessary repairs. As a homeowner, it is your responsibility to get your home treated for termites if you live in an area where the risk is present. If a branch from a tree falls on your home due to the tree being in poor health, it is your fault, and the insurance won’t reimburse you. In other words, take care of your property.
Floods
Floods can happen almost anywhere, and the sad truth is home insurance doesn’t cover flood damage. While this is not good news, there is good news. Flood insurance is available from the NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program), and if the risk of flooding is present, you can add this policy to your portfolio.
Expensive jewelry
Standard home insurance policies have minimal coverage for loss or theft of jewelry. You likely don’t have adequate coverage if you have a nice engagement ring. You can add a jewelry rider to your policy to ensure you have enough coverage to feel protected.
