Home Insurance for Skunk Vandal?No. A skunk is not a vandal. it is a pest and this is a maintenance issue. If your home foundation is properly skirted and vented a skunk could not get under it.

Also a skunk odor is a temporary odor that will dissipate usually in a few days or a week or two at most. It may be a nuisance but it is not a covered peril under the terms of a homeowners insurance policy.

If you want to get rid of the odor a little faster just throw some Tomato Juice around wherever you think the skunk sprayed. It should accelerate the dissipation of the odor. It would not make since for an insurance company to spend thousands of dollars in claims adjustment time just to send someone to your home to spray around with a 5 dollar bottle of tomato juice.

If you insist they do this then they will probably cancel or non-renew your home insurance policy due to a nuisance claim.

AnswerWell, a skunk sprayed in my house! And I do believe it should be covered under the vandalism clause.

As of now they are saying no but have yet to respond to me regarding it being covered under the vandalism clause

AnswerThe only way would be if someone purposely put a skunk in your home knowing it would spray.

The other person's insurance will have to cover their OWN damage. If a tree in your yard falls onto your neighbor's house, the neighbor has to use their own insurance. So it works the same for your case. Your insurance will cover your damages and the nieghbor's insurance will cover their own ceiling.


Why doesn't your home insurance cover damage from a vehicle which is not insured under auto insurance?

That is not necessarily true. That is, if an uninsured vehicle runs into your house and causes damage to the house, your own homeowner's policy will generally pay for the repairs to the house. Naturally, payment will be subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of the policy. Further, the amount recoverable will be limited to the total amount payable under the homeowner's policy. If, instead, what you are asking is whether homeowner's insurance will cover damage to a vehicle, the answer is no. They are 2 different types of insurance covering 2 different kinds of risks. Premiums (the amount paid by the person insured) are determined by the nature of the risk(s) insured, the persons or entities insured, and the activities insured. Those factors differ between auto insurance and homeowner's insurance, so a total premium cannot be melded.
