What a standard homeowners policy does NOT cover

These are the gaps that turn into the most expensive surprises after a claim. Each one can usually be solved — but only if you add the right endorsement or separate policy before the loss happens.

  • Flood

    Excluded on every standard policy. Requires a separate NFIP or private flood policy — even outside FEMA-mapped flood zones.

  • Earthquake

    Excluded. Requires an earthquake endorsement or standalone policy. Critical for NV and CO foothills.

  • Sewer / drain backup

    Excluded by default. A water backup endorsement adds $5,000–$25,000 of coverage for a small premium.

  • Mold

    Usually capped at $5,000 even when the source is covered. Limit can be increased on most policies.

  • Wear, tear & neglect

    Gradual damage, deferred maintenance, and old roofs are excluded. Insurance covers sudden, accidental losses — not aging.

  • Vacant home (30+ days)

    Coverage narrows or disappears once a home is vacant. Requires a vacancy endorsement or a dwelling fire (DP) policy.

Homeowners insurance by state

Coverage needs differ by region. Wildfire exposure on the Front Range, hail in Denver, wind and roof age in Las Vegas, and rebuild-cost inflation across both states all change what a good policy looks like.
