building insurance

Structure damage coverage

Building insurance is coverage that protects a structure against damage from fire, storms, flooding, or other hazards.

It typically covers the physical building itself—walls, roof, floors—rather than contents or liability.

Homeowners and landlords carry building insurance to cover repair or replacement costs: The building insurance covered the roof damage from the hurricane.
