I’m sorry to hear your pool was damaged during a windstorm. Luckily, home insurance can cover pool damage if it was caused by a
covered peril
detailed in your policy.
The perils that could damage your pool include:
  • Windstorm
  • Fire
  • Vandalism
  • Lightning
  • Frozen plumbing
However, your home insurance policy will not cover damage to your pool caused by wear and tear, lack of maintenance, earthquakes, or floods.
Insurance coverage can be confusing. If you have questions about home or
car insurance
