Coverage for Your Finished Basement

One of the most popular home renovations currently is a finished basement with home theatre. Such improvements may affect the replacement cost of a home and should be incorporated in the dwelling limit.

More importantly, homeowner policies provide very limited coverage for sewer and drain backups, often as little as $5,000. Basements with extensive finishes and valuable personal property should carry higher limits, which are available for a nominal charge.

It's also important to remember that your homeowner policy does not include flood insurance. This includes damage caused by a rising body of water or any other surface water that may enter your basement. The National Flood Insurance Program provides this coverage which we can facilitate for you if desired.
