Property Supplemental Insurance
Protect your property with innovative and customized insurance strategies, so you’re prepared when you need it most. Property supplemental insurance refers to optional coverages and add-ons that strengthen a standard property policy—helping you reduce gaps, manage deductibles, and cover losses that may not be fully addressed by a basic homeowners, landlord, commercial, or HOA property policy.
Below are common supplemental coverages property owners choose to include. If you need coverage not listed here, don’t hesitate to reach out—we can help you build a property insurance program that fits your risks and budget.
Ordinance or Law Coverage (Code Upgrade Costs)
After a major loss, rebuilding often requires updates to meet current building codes. Ordinance or law coverage can help with eligible extra costs tied to required upgrades—so you’re not forced to fund code changes out of pocket.
Water Backup Coverage (Sewer & Drain Backup)
Many standard policies limit or exclude certain water backup losses. This add-on can help cover eligible damage caused by sewer or drain backup—one of the most common, expensive, and frustrating property claims.
Equipment Breakdown (HVAC, Electrical, Mechanical Systems)
Equipment breakdown coverage can help pay for covered repair or replacement costs when major systems fail due to mechanical or electrical breakdown—often including things like boilers, HVAC, electrical panels, pumps, or other critical equipment.
Higher Limits for Valuables (Scheduled Personal Property)
Standard property policies often have sub-limits for jewelry, watches, fine art, collectibles, and specialty items. Scheduling valuables can help increase protection and provide broader coverage for high-value items.
Extended Replacement Cost / Inflation Guard
Rebuild costs can rise fast due to labor and material pricing. Extended replacement cost or inflation guard options can help protect you from being underinsured when construction costs jump after a widespread disaster.
Deductible Strategy Options (Wind/Hail, Named Storm, HOA Deductibles)
Some properties face special deductibles—like wind/hail percentage deductibles or large HOA master policy deductibles. Supplemental strategies can help you plan for deductible exposure and reduce surprise out-of-pocket costs after a claim.
Flood Coverage (Separate Policy or Endorsement)
Flood is commonly excluded from standard property insurance. Many owners add separate flood coverage—especially in areas exposed to heavy rain, drainage issues, or changing flood patterns.
Umbrella Liability (Extra Protection Above Property Liability)
While not a “property” coverage in the strictest sense, an umbrella policy is often a smart supplement—adding extra liability limits above homeowners, landlord, or HOA liability coverage for severe claims.
