Your policy only has a deductible in the event of catastrophe related losses. That means that in the event of a hurricane, there would be a deductible. If there is damage caused by a fire, a burst pipe or theft, there is no deductible. If the cost of the damage to your home exceeds the deductible listed on your policy schedule, we will issue a payment for the cost of the damage, less the deductible.
