That sparkling backyard pool helps create an at-home summer resort. But you could find yourself in the financial deep end without the right insurance coverage. Regular homeowners insurance may not provide enough coverage if you have a pool and some policies may even exclude pools.
Pools can be dangerous, so they increase your liability risk because you stand a greater chance of being sued or having to pay someone’s medical expenses. When you get a pool, boost your liability coverage. Consider an umbrella policy if it’s available in your state.
Before installing a pool, check with local government because you’ll need to meet local standards and codes. These could include requirements for safety equipment such as fences, locks and wave alarms.
