If you think you have it, check your policy for “water escape” a specific limit will apply that typically starts at $5,000. Have you checked your jewelry? Many homeowners add coverage to the policy, and then leave the limit unchanged for 10 years. The amount listed for an item is all that the insurance company will pay. Get appraisals regularly. Did you consider bylaws coverage? No policy will pay for the increase in a claim caused by the application of a bylaw.
