Most homeowners policies exclude termite damage because infestations are viewed as preventable maintenance issues, not sudden accidental losses insurance is built to cover.
Coverage may apply when termites trigger a separate covered peril, such as a sudden collapse or fire caused by damaged wiring within walls.
Repair bills can span from minor fixes to major structural work, and severe infestations may push costs into the $10Ks for homeowners.
Yearly inspections, quick treatment, less wood near foundations, trimmed greenery, good drainage, ventilation, and sealed gaps can all help reduce termite risk.
If termites lead to a covered fire and the home becomes unlivable, standard loss-of-use coverage may help fund temporary housing during repairs.
