It covers many things that can happen to damage your home, but not everything.&nbsp; At L &amp; S Agency Inc., serving the residents of Buffalo, NY, we understand that as independent insurance agents, we work for our customers.&nbsp;&nbsp;We will do everything we can to ensure you have the right home insurance coverage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Home Insurance Exclusions<\/h2>\n<h3>Flood<\/h3>\n<p>Floods cause an immense amount of damage all over the world every year. Only a few inches can cost thousands of dollars in damage to your home. Traditional home insurance does not cover water damage due to a flood. You can, however, purchase a flood insurance policy if you live where there is a danger of flooding.&nbsp;The National Flood Insurance Program offers flood insurance,<\/p>\n<h3>Owner neglect<\/h3>\n<p>The insurance carrier who holds your insurance expects that you will do the required maintenance to keep your home in good condition. What that means is that if your roof is old you need to replace it before it causes damage inside your home and they won&#8217;t pay for damage that results from it. If you get termites, the damage is your fault because you didn&#8217;t get your home treated for it. No coverage for wear and tear is included.<\/p>\n<h3>Earth movement<\/h3>\n<p>Earth movement covers several different potentially damaging events, including earthquakes, landslides, mudslides,&nbsp; and sinkholes. You can, however, add this coverage to your policy if you have need of it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>War<\/h3>\n<p>War, warlike or hostile actions are excluded from home insurance policies. Typically, it is assumed that this sort of damage would be so great that the insurance company would go bankrupt if they had to pay for this much damage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Get in touch with us<\/h3>\n<p>Call L &amp; S Agency Inc, serving the greater Buffalo, NY community, for a no-obligation quote.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home insurance provides the peace of mind most people require when it comes to their homes.
