Common Virginia home insurance questions
Is my home insured for market value?
Usually, the dwelling limit should focus on estimated rebuild cost, which can be different from the purchase price or market value.
Should I ask about water backup?
Yes. Water and sewer backup can be important, and the SCC notes that companies are required to offer it.
Can you bundle home and auto?
Yes. Bundling can simplify coverage and may create discounts depending on the carrier.
