Earthquake Insurance

If you live in a seismically active area, earthquake insurance can be crucial. Standard homeowners policies don’t cover earthquake damage — leaving you to pay out of pocket. Earthquake insurance covers structure, personal belongings, and additional living expenses if your home becomes uninhabitable.

Earthquakes cause swift, extensive structural damage — foundation cracks, collapsed walls, broken pipes, and more.
