- Your personal belongings
- Additional living expenses if you cannot live in your home due to a covered loss

Water and Sewer Backup
Water and Sewer Backup insurance is a type of insurance that covers damage caused by water backing up into a home from a sewer, drain or due to a sump pump failure.
Personal Injury Protection
Personal Injury Protection provides coverage for OTHER THAN bodily injury or property damage. This includes false arrest, detention, or imprisonment; malicious prosecution; wrongful eviction; slander; libel; and invasion of privacy.
This is more of a mental or psychological based coverage. An example would be your child makes a harsh remark to a classmate and they mentally hurt them. or you deny renting a property to some one because of their race.
Scheduled Property
Scheduled personal property coverage is an optional add-on to your homeowners insurance policy that provides coverage for a greater number of risks and may increase the coverage limits on specific, high-value items.
Here are some belongings you might want to consider for scheduled personal property coverage:
- Jewelry and furs
- Art and antiques
- Stamp or coin collections
- Firearms
- Musical instruments
- Expensive cameras
To get the items scheduled, you typically need to provide your insurance company with a recent receipt or a professional appraisal.
Service Line Coverage
Service line coverage, also known as buried utility lines coverage, is an endorsement that can be added to many home insurance policies to cover the cost of repairing or replacing a broken utility line running into your home. Your coverage limit for a damaged service line is often up to $10,000 and may include a deductible.
Home Systems Protection
Home Systems Protection covers a wide range of critical systems, appliances and electronics. Warranties and service contracts may offer limited coverage for a year or two, but Home Systems Protection provides additional insurance so that you are covered for unexpected mechanical or electrical breakdowns that may occur after the manufacturer's warranty expires.

A house fire can start and spread very quickly, often within a matter of minutes. The speed depends on factors like the materials in the home, the fire's fuel source, ventilation, and the initial location of the fire. Here's a breakdown of how quickly a house fire can progress:
Initial Ignition (0-1 minute):
- A fire can start from something as small as a spark, an unattended candle, or a cooking accident.
- Once ignited, it grows rapidly, feeding on flammable materials like fabrics, paper, or wood.
First 1-2 Minutes:
- Fire doubles in size every 30 seconds.
- The fire spreads to nearby items such as curtains, furniture, or carpeting, creating more heat and smoke.
- Smoke and toxic gases begin to fill the room.
