Charlie Clark • April 18, 2024

Resin driveways are a very popular choice when looking to improve your properties curb appeal and functionality. However, there are certain factors you should take into account before installing your resin driveway, such as your home insurance. In this blog post we will discuss potential hazards, as well as advantages, how resin driveways affect house insurance coverage, and how to effectively safeguard your property.

Understanding Resin Driveway Coverage

You are more than likely to discover that your home insurance policy does cover structures, such as driveways, against fire, theft and vandalism. However, it is crucial that you check with your own insurance company in order to verify this. For non-traditional driveway materials like resin, certain insurers may require additional coverage or endorsements to guarantee complete protection in the case of damage.

Evaluating Risks And Benefits

As we have talked about previously, there are a multitude of benefits to installing a resin driveway to your property, some of which being, the longevity, easy maintenance and aesthetic appeal. However, as with anything, there can possibly be dangers that could affect your home insurance. When evaluating the risk of your resin driveway, factors like the quality of the installation, maintenance, and potential risks (such cracks and potholes) should be taken into account. Please bear in mind that cracks to your resin driveway are highly unlikely in the case that it has been installed properly. Making educated judgements concerning insurance coverage and risk management can be aided by having a thorough understanding of these risks and advantages.

Tips For Ensuring Proper Protection

In order to ensure you do not come up against any unforeseen circumstances, it is crucial to regularly examine your home insurance coverage and inform your insurer of any changes or improvements to your property. Having a conversation with your insurance company is always suggested, in order to make sure that you have sufficient coverage for the work you require. Routine inspections, repairs, and proper drainage are good steps in extending the life of your resin driveway. 

To summarise, resin driveways are one of those assets that can raise the value and aesthetic appeal of your house, but before committing to the installation, ensure you have checked your property insurance coverage.  Always make sure you are aware of your coverage options, weighing the risks and advantages, and taking preventative measures to safeguard your resin driveway. Do not forget to speak to your home insurance provider about the terms and conditions of your coverage.
