Does Your Homeowners Insurance Cover Termite Damage?
A termite infestation can cause a lot of damage to your house. The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) estimates that termites cause $5 billion of damage each year. However, your homeowners insurance may not cover the cost to repair termite damage. The reason may seem like a logistical loophole.
According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), many homeowners insurance policies don’t cover termite damage, removal, or extermination. Termite infestations are considered preventable and are the responsibility of the homeowner.
Don’t worry, you’re not alone. 707 Pest Solutions offers preventative termite treatments and can repair wood that has been damaged by termites.
