Property Claim Costs

Debris Removal and Pollution Damage

How These Additional Costs Impact the Property Claim

When calculating the many costs involved following destruction or damage, keep in mind that the costs of debris removal and the cleanup of possible pollution removal are in addition to — rather than a part of — the value of the damaged property.

"While debris removal coverage will pay for pollution cleanup and decontamination of covered buildings and personal property, it does not apply to the cost to extract 'pollutants' from land or water, or remove, restore or replace polluted land or water. Pollutant cleanup and removal is a separate additional coverage."
