Earthquake Insurance
EARTHQUAKE INSURANCE
You never know when the next earthquake will hit.
California has a long history of earthquakes, so protecting your home and possessions is essential. With Earthquake Insurance, you can rest easier knowing that your valuables will be covered.
EARTHQUAKE VS. HOMEOWNERS
Don’t make the mistake of assuming your Homeowners or Condo policy includes earthquake coverage. It doesn’t. These policies specifically exclude losses caused by earthquakes, so to adequately protect your home you need to add this valuable coverage.
A BETTER DEDUCTIBLE
With many earthquake policies you are forced to accept high deductibles. This means if an earthquake damages your home and its contents, you will find yourself covering the bulk of the expenses. You can lower your deductible to as little as 5% (not available in all areas. Please check with your agent).
A BETTER OPTION
We offer you the option of a Preferred policy with superior coverage and optional deductibles, or the extra value of an Enhanced policy for the budget-minded. If you have a Condo instead of a free standing home, we have a policy that is just for you. Please discuss the details of each policy and your specific needs with your local agent so that if the ground starts shaking you can have rock solid confidence that your home and valuables will be covered.
WHAT DOES EARTHQUAKE INSURANCE DO FOR YOU?
When the earth moves it can damage the foundation, crack walls and windows and destroy your prized possessions. With Earthquake Insurance you can replace damaged valuables and repair devastating home damages.
