    What kind of protection will the right home insurance provide?

    • Structural Repair – if your home is damaged in a covered event, your coverage will pay for repairs. This may include roof repairs or broken windows from storm damage. If you have multiple buildings on your property, such as a detached garage or shed and a deck, they must be added into the policy.
    • Personal Contents – this coverage pays for replacement of your personal items if they are damaged in an event, such as fire. You must estimate how much you think your belongings are worth to ensure adequate coverage.
    • Expensive Personal Items – items such a jewelry or electronics may require separate coverage to ensure you carry the full replacement value.
    • Loss of Use – if your home is beyond use due to an event such as fire, your policy will cover expenses of living in another location for a period of time.
    • Liability – this coverage protects you if someone should get injured while on your property; it pays for the person’s medical expenses from falls, dog bites and other accidents.

    You will have a deductible, which is the amount you pay before the insurance policy begins coverage. Deductibles can range from $500 to $1000 or even higher, and will impact how much you pay on your premiums.

    Choosing the Right Homeowner’s Insurance

    Besides looking at the cost, you want to consider how much coverage you need. Working with a trusted agent at ASA Insurance will help you understand your options as well as compare pricing for the various policies available.

    Another factor in your home insurance is cash value or replacement cost. While most lenders require you to carry replacement cost on the home if you have a mortgage, you want to be sure which type of policy you are looking at. You most often see the two options when it comes to your personal belongings.

    With cash value, you are paid only what the item is worth at current market value. An older item will be worth less unless it is an antique. Replacement cost is the amount it would cost in today’s market to replace that item, regardless of what it’s actually worth.

    Home Insurance FAQs

    How much home insurance do I need in Utah?
    A good rule of thumb for the basic level of home insurance you’ll want to have is this: enough to cover the cost of rebuilding your home if it were totally destroyed. For example, if your property is worth $400,000 but the physical structure of your home would cost $280,000 to rebuild, you’ll want to have at least $280,000 in home insurance coverage.

    This is just a rule of thumb, however, which means it’s important to speak to your home insurance provider about your specific circumstances in order to find the right policy for you.

    Does home insurance cover water damage in Salt Lake City?
    This largely depends on what caused the water damage. For example, if the pipes burst suddenly in a new home, this is more likely to be covered because it was sudden, unexpected, and largely unavoidable. But what if this happens in an older home with outdated plumbing? In cases such as these, this type of water damage isn’t likely to be covered because it is considered avoidable if the homeowner had updated their plumbing.
    Is home insurance required in Utah?
    If a homeowner purchases their home without a mortgage, home insurance is not legally required. However, most homeowners have a mortgage for their home and mortgage companies almost always require homeowners to have home insurance to protect their investment.
    Does home insurance cover fire?
    We love this question because it gives us the opportunity to offer up a bit of a history lesson: home insurance was first created specifically for fire damage! As such, to this day, fire damage is almost always covered by home insurance, provided it wasn’t started by the homeowners intentionally.
    What does home insurance cover?

    Home insurance coverage includes a number of things, although these will depend on the specific inclusions and exclusions on a particular policy.

    That being said, here are some of the most basic things covered by most home insurance policies in Salt Lake City:

    • Fire damage
    • Theft
    • Wind, hail, and lightning damage
    • Vandalism
    • Smoke damage
    How do I shop for home insurance in Salt Lake City?
    Shopping for home insurance starts by choosing a handful of home insurance companies and reaching out to them for quotes. Then, it means comparing these quotes based on the coverage they provide—if one policy is significantly cheaper than another, it’s often because it doesn’t give you as much protection.
    Does home insurance cover roof damage?
    If your roof is damaged by a sudden and unexpected event, then in most cases, it will be covered by home insurance. But let’s say your roof is 30 years old and hasn’t been maintained properly. Then, if you try to make a claim for roof damage, it isn’t likely to be covered because this will usually be considered the result of homeowner negligence.
