The Olympus Difference: Coverage That Stands Out

With Florida homeowners insurance being whittled away at constantly, many policies don’t cover what they used to. Homeowners who suffer a loss may not be aware until they file a claim that their coverage was insufficient, or restricted by the language in their policy.

In the face of weakening industry standards, Olympus policies have retained coverage for multiple situations that are now omitted from a standard homeowners (HO3) policy, including:

Water Damage

Verbiage in Florida homeowners insurance documentation has shifted throughout the past two decades. Policies now typically exclude coverage for damage that is not reported within a specific time period starting from the date the leak began (usually 7-14 days). For damage that is covered, strict caps often apply.

The Olympus Difference: Olympus offers one of the broadest water damage coverages available.

Damage From Wind-Driven Rain

Coverage for home contents damaged by wind-driven rain have typically been excluded from most policies, but many homeowners are now seeing exclusions for damage to their home itself and other buildings on their property.

The Olympus Difference: Olympus still provides coverage for homes and buildings damaged by wind-driven rain, and coverage for home contents can even be obtained by adding Spartan Enhanced Coverage.

Dwelling Under Construction

A home being built has little coverage under many policies, which doesn’t address such incidents as materials being stolen from the site of the build.

The Olympus Difference: Olympus Dwelling Under Construction policies cover theft of building materials, giving homeowners peace of mind during the construction process. The DUC policy can also be rewritten to a standard HO3 policy once construction is complete.

Other Structures

Other buildings on the property, such as a shed, or detached structures like fencing, boat lifts, and docks, are typically excluded from coverage completely.

The Olympus Difference: Structures considered buildings are covered at 100% replacement cost; structures other than buildings are covered at actual cash value (depreciated cost).

Pool Enclosures

Pool cages and screens are also typically excluded from coverage completely, or only partially covered.

The Olympus Difference: Olympus provides 100% replacement cost coverage for most pool enclosures, cages, and screens.
