California coverage guide

Earthquake

Standard homeowners policies generally do not include earthquake damage, so the deductible and selected components deserve a separate conversation.

Prepare for a useful licensed conversation.

Understand the separate policy, deductible structure, and personal-property or loss-of-use choices. Bring your current coverage summary when available, but do not upload or email sensitive documents until an authorized professional provides a secure method.

Questions worth asking

  • How is the earthquake deductible calculated?
  • What dwelling, personal property, and loss-of-use options apply?
  • Are masonry, slope, retrofit, or foundation details relevant?
  • Which exclusions or waiting periods should be reviewed?

What this guide does not do

This page does not produce a quote, bind coverage, recommend a carrier, or confirm eligibility. Coverage and pricing depend on the complete application, underwriting, policy forms, limits, exclusions, and carrier approval.
