Earthquake Insurance FAQ

Does homeowners insurance cover earthquake damage?

No. Standard homeowners policies exclude earthquake damage. It's covered only through a separate earthquake policy or, with some carriers, an earthquake endorsement added to your homeowners policy. Given the seismic risk in our region, it's worth reviewing. We can help you add it.

How do earthquake deductibles work?

Earthquake policies commonly use a percentage deductible based on your home's insured value rather than a flat dollar figure, so a higher home value means a higher deductible. Understanding how that applies before a loss is important, and we're glad to walk you through what a policy would actually pay in a claim.

Is earthquake insurance worth it in the Pacific Northwest?

For many homeowners, yes. The region's seismic risk is real, and repair or rebuild costs after a significant quake can be enormous. The right answer depends on your home, your budget, and your comfort with the risk. We can quote it so you can weigh the cost against the protection.
