What Homeowners Insurance in Oklahoma City Really Covers

Julie thought she had everything covered. Her Oklahoma City home was insured, her mortgage was current, and she even updated her policy last year.

​But when a pipe leak turned into serious mold, her claim got denied.

She didn’t understand. “Isn’t that what insurance is for?” she asked.

Turns out, not always.

Most homeowners don’t find out what their policy excludes—until it’s too late.

​What Your Policy Usually Covers

Standard homeowners insurance in Oklahoma typically covers:

• Wind and hail damage
• Fire and smoke
• Theft and vandalism
• Water damage from burst pipes
• Liability for injuries on your property
• Loss of use if your home becomes unlivable

​
That’s the basic stuff. But it’s what isn’t covered that gets most people in trouble.

What Your Policy Usually Doesn’t Cover

Here are the big exclusions that often catch people off guard:

• Flood damage: You need a separate flood policy for that
  
• Mold from long-term leaks: Usually not covered if the issue wasn’t fixed quickly
  
• Earthquakes or earth movement: Also needs separate coverage
  
• Termite or pest damage: Seen as a maintenance issue, not an accident
  
• Wear and tear: If your roof is just old, it’s not a covered loss
  
• Business-related losses: If you run a home business, those losses may be excluded
  

Why You Should Read the Fine Print

Most people look at their deductible and move on. But things like separate wind/hail deductibles, actual cash value vs. replacement cost, and endorsements can make a huge difference.

When Was the Last Time You Reviewed Your Coverage?

Life changes. So should your policy. A few questions to ask yourself:

• Has the value of your home gone up?
• Have you made any upgrades?
• Do you run a business from home?
• Have you reviewed your personal property limits recently?
