Now is the time to protect it. A protective swimming pool fence will help. Home insurance is even more important.<\/p>\n<h2>Swimming Pool Coverage&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>For the most part, home insurance covers damage to swimming pools. However, the specific language of your home insurance policy ultimately determines coverage.<\/p>\n<p>Take a close look at the small print of your home insurance policy to determine if your swimming pool is considered a component of the home. Some policies contain language stating a policyholder&rsquo;s pool falls under the umbrella of &ldquo;other structures&rdquo; coverage.<\/p>\n<h2>Damage to the Pool<\/h2>\n<p>Most home insurance policies contain language stating the home and other structures are insured when a covered event occurs. Such perils typically include hail, harsh winds, fire, vandalism and lightning.<\/p>\n<p>As an example, consider a situation in which nasty winds in Hershey, PA knock a tree into the pool, causing damage to the liner. &nbsp;In such an instance, home insurance would likely be applicable to cover ensuing repairs.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are some exceptions. &nbsp;As an example, earthquake damage isn&rsquo;t always covered in conventional home insurance policies. If such a quake causes a shift in the ground and damage to the pool, it might not be partially or fully covered.<\/p>\n<p>When in doubt, check the small print of your home insurance policy. You&#8217;ll likely find details about covered events and covered structures such as swimming pools. If you can&#8217;t find the specifics, reach out to Options Insurance Agency for guidance.<\/p>\n<h2>Get Your Quote Today<\/h2>\n<p>Options Insurance Agency is here for everyone in Hershey, PA. &nbsp;If you are considering home insurance, dial 1-800-929-6977 for a custom-tailored quote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&rsquo;ve worked hard for your home and your swimming pool.
