The most risk factors to property such as fire, theft and some weather damages are protected if we have property insurance. Specialized forms of insurance are also included like flood insurance, earthquake insurance, fire insurance and home or broiler insurance. It is insured in two main ways, the open peril that covers all causes of loss not specifically excluded in the policy like earthquakes, floods, acts of terrorism, nuclear explosion and war. The other one is named perils that require the actual cause of loss to be listed in the policy for insurance to be provided. It includes damages causing like lightning, fire, theft and explosion. Insurance coverage has three types. First, is the replacement cost that pays the properties cost of replacing damages regardless of depreciation or appreciation. Second type is the extended replacement cost that will pay over the coverage limit if the costs for construction have increased. This will not exceed generally over 20% of the limit. The third type is the actual cash value that provides replacement minus the depreciation. The coverage limit established the maximum amount the insurance company will pay out in case of property loss.
