Homeowners Insurance and Our Cleanup Services
Thinking about your insurance isn’t usually the first thing on your mind when your home is the site of a crime, or loss of a loved one. While we hope it’s something you never have to consider, it can be helpful to know ahead of time what your homeowners insurance covers – and the good news is this: most homeowners insurance policies cover cleanup services.
Homeowners Insurance
Insurance is a safety net, to help you recover from life’s curveballs. However, a safety net isn’t any good if it doesn’t cover those surprises! You know your policy covers a fallen tree, you know it covers hail, but what about disasters, riots, or crime? For the most part (we can’t say all of them) your homeowners insurance has your back. Here are some, perhaps surprising, things your policy covers you might not know about.
Your Homeowners Insurance Can Cover…
Protesting Masses
Times are turbulent. With a country more politically active than ever, it seems like a daily occurrence that there is a march or protest somewhere. If your home is damaged from protests or rioting, worry not – your homeowners insurance will cover the cost to repair damages.
Disasters
If you’re local to SoCal like us, then you know how insurance handles earthquakes or floods (usually separate policies for those specific disasters) but damage to your home caused by falling volcanic ash is frequently covered under standard policies. Not bad huh?
Break Ins
If you have ever been the victim of a breaking and entering, you know criminals don’t tend to treat your home with respect when they are thrashing your home. If your home is trashed, furniture broken, that sort of thing, your homeowners policy will cover the damages – though the amount covered varies on individual policies and how they handle depreciation.
Deaths
It is not something we ever hope to see, but it can happen. Homes can be the site of an unattended, undiscovered passing, or a crime that leaves a biohazard state behind. If this should happen, rest easy knowing your homeowners policy likely covers the necessary work to bring it back to a livable condition.
Final Resting Places
You might be surprised to learn that your policy covers family member’s final resting places, whether they are on the property or elsewhere. Should a grave marker be damaged, vandalized, or removed your policy will help cover it.
The important thing to take away from this blog is that homeowners policies often cover much more than we might initially suspect. The only way to be certain is to reach out and ask!
