Common Home Insurance Questions
No. Flooding is excluded on standard home policies. Coverage for flooding is available with a flood insurance policy. There may be coverage for certain water losses, like a backed up drain or a broken pipe.
Jewelry and other items at high risk for theft have reduced coverage limits for theft and disappearance on standard home policies. You can “schedule” your jewelry items, meaning you specifically list it on the policy along with a description and valuation. If scheduled, the lost or stolen item will be covered for the agreed upon value. There is an additional cost to scheduling jewelry and other special property.
Replacement cost means your stolen or destroyed property is valued at the amount it would take to replace it with a new version. So, if your sofa is destroyed, you’re paid the amount it costs to purchase a new sofa of the same or similar model. Actual cash value means your property is valued including depreciation. In the previous scenario, you may only receive 50% of the cost to purchase a new sofa, since your destroyed sofa already had a few years of use. It’s important to understand how your policy values your personal property so you aren’t surprised when you need to make a claim.
