What does house insurance cover?

Today, we are going to see what most insurance plans cover in house accidents. This gives the new homeowner peace of mind, that if something happens, they will be covered, like house flooding, tornado, fire, etc.  

Home insurance usually covers most (but not all) natural disasters, robberies, and accidents. “Generally, home insurance pays to repair or rebuild your property if it is damaged by fire, wind, lightning or other natural disasters,” says Josh Herz, president of Associated Insurance and Risk Management Advisors. 

They also cover personal belongings, additional living expenses, and liability for you and others that live in the house — in case someone gets hurt in an accident in the house. However, that can change depending on what type of contract you have, so it is very important to read everything, and if you have any questions about it, ask them!

What you can also do is negotiate what you want to cover, like roof damage, plumbing problems, fire, hurricane, pet damages, etc. This way you will make sure to have everything covered and know what to do to prepare yourself in case you have to deal with any problem yourself.
