That is the ultimate question!
What type of policy do you have?What type of policy you have ultimately determines if coverage is available.
The standard HO3 Homeowners policyThe industry standard HO3 Homeowners policy is a very powerful contract. It covers the home for what perils will typically happen in a given area.
The home itself is covered for all type of Perils, and then it will exclude certain things like Flood or War among others.
The stuff inside your home is the opposite however. It is covered for "Named Peril" and therefore has much more restricted coverages.
When in doubt, Call your agent first!
