Are you thinking of putting a pool in your yard? We have all heard it affects our Connecticut Home Insurance, but just how much? Well, before you add a pool to your home you should speak with your agent and find out if your current company would still insure you. If they do insure homes with pools, they would most likely require that you add a self-locking gate of a certain height. If you’re also considering adding a slide or diving board to this pool, you are even more at risk for your current insurance company not to insure you.
This may change your mind when it comes to a pool or it may make you change your mind when it comes to your homeowners insurance company. Either way, it’s a good idea to contact your agent and update your policy when you are adding a pool so that you will have the coverage you need. If you’re worried about not having enough liability, ask your agent about an Umbrella Policy!
