It’s every homeowner’s worst nightmare: the basement is underwater. Something has gone horribly, horribly wrong, and now you have a swimming pool inside your house. Well, you always wanted a swimming pool, but this isn’t quite what you had in mind. Anyways, now you have a question: what types of water damage are covered by home insurance?
Let’s find out what kind of water damage your home insurance protects you from.
Hey, that’s weird…why’s it raining inside? Unless this is some sort of elaborate practical joke, you’re pretty sure that there shouldn’t be a puddle in the middle of the living room floor. Or water dripping onto your head. Anyways, there’s water where it shouldn’t be and you think a roof leak is to blame. Now the burning question (or soggy question) is does home insurance cover a new roof? And how can you tell if your roof is actually leaking? (Not all leaks are caused by a roof problem.) Well, we’ve got the answer to those questions, coming right up.
Most of the time you’re probably not too fixated on the roof over your head. It does its job – it keeps the water out and protects you from the cold, the heat, and storms. Perhaps you don’t give too much thought to it. But here’s the thing – your insurance company does. They’re actually very concerned with roofs.
So, therein lies the question (well, questions):
How does your roof affect your home insurance rates? Can your roof help you get a discount on your premium?
Well, guess what? We’re going to answer those questions.

As a homeowner, you’ve got a lot of responsibility on your plate – even when you’re not actually occupying your home. Home insurance policies often don’t allow for a homeowner to leave their house unattended for an extended period of time. Now, there’s a difference between an unoccupied home and a vacant home, but the bottom line is that you may need to get special coverage if you’re leaving your house empty. We’ll go over why your normal homeowner’s insurance may not cover your empty house and how you can make sure your investment is covered.
Home insurance is there to protect your home from losses. It’s also there to give you some peace of mind – there’s enough stress in life without worrying about how you’d pay for damage to your house if disaster struck. However, it’s really important that you understand what your home insurance policy covers. Home insurance policies have exclusions, or losses that are not covered – meaning that if that particular loss hit your home, the insurance company wouldn’t pay for it. We’ll go over ten common home insurance exclusions and explain how you can cover gaps in your insurance.

Home insurance payments perhaps aren’t your favorite things. The deadlines are usually doable and you get that check in the mail (or pay online) with plenty of time.

Or you may have simply forgotten – it happens. Whatever the reason may be, the home insurance bill didn’t get paid. And now you’re wondering what happens if you miss a home insurance payment. We’ll explain.
