Riders you may want to add to your home policy

Home insurance offers a lot of protection to your house. It covers the building, the contents, and offers liability protection. These are all important coverages but some things are not included and these can be added with a rider. Riders are additional coverage that either expands the coverage you have or add additional coverage for things that are excluded from your original home policy. At Saucon Insurance Agency in Bethlehem, PA, we are here to help you get all the coverage you need. 

Jewelry 

Chances are if you have a reasonably sized engagement ring you may have maxed out the jewelry allowance on your standard home insurance policy. That means any other jewelry you have will not be replaced in the event of a theft or other covered peril. By getting a jewelry rider you can make sure what you have is protected. Be sure to have an appraisal done of valuable pieces and keep any receipts you may have. 

Electronics

If you have a high-end electronic or a lot of them. you should consider a rider to give you the protection you need. Be sure to keep the record of what you own updated to avoid any shock in the event of a loss. 

Home business

You may assume that since your home business is located in your home it gets full coverage from your home insurance. This is not correct and you must talk to your insurance agent to see exactly what coverage you have. Adding a home business rider can make sure your investment is protected. 

Sewer backup

Not only is this a disgusting thing to happen to your home, but it can also cause lots of damage. The bad news is, it isn’t covered with your home insurance policy unless you have a special rider.
