Under a Tower Hill Insurance policy, damage must meet a specific structural threshold to qualify as a covered sinkhole loss. Coverage typically applies to the building and its foundation when settlement or cracking is directly attributed to sinkhole activity (subterranean voids (e.g., limestone dissolution) beneath the structure).
Signs of structural damage covered by the policy include:
It is important to note that Tower Hill generally excludes cosmetic or non-structural damage, as well as damage caused by normal wear and tear, erosion from surface water, or gradual settlement unrelated to sinkhole activity. For a claim to be successful, a licensed structural engineer must verify that the damage meets these structural thresholds and is caused by a sinkhole.
