Homeowners Insurance Covers the property detailed under your policy. Trees are not an insured property.

If a hurricane blows a tree into your house and damages your home then the damage to your home would be covered but if only the tree is damaged then the tree itself is not covered.

Does homeowners insurance cover parts of underground sprinkler system damaged due to tree uprooting from hurricane?

My initial thought on this is that the sprinkler line would be covered as it is attached to house and was damaged by a tree being blown over by wind. That is unless you happen to have an insurance policy that excludes wind damage which is not uncommon in hurricane prone areas.

If the neighbors tree fell on your house during a hurricane took out the fence and damaged your roof of your house does their homeowners insurance cover the damage?

NO. Your neighbor is not liable for an act of nature that fells a tree. Your homeowners insurance will fix the damage to your property and the neighbors insurance would fix damage to the neighbors property. It does not matter who the tree belonged to.AnswerMaybe. It doesn't hurt to try if your neighbor will tell you who they are insured with. They are not obligated to do so. AnswerI'm not really sure. However, I do have a friend and his neighbor's house actually fell on top of his, but they considered it still standing and didn't give the full amount of the house's worth. AnswerYour own homeowner's insurance should cover this. If they think the neighbor is responsible, they will collect from his insurance company. In a hurricane a tree could have come from the next county - then how would you know whose tree it was? It depends on your state's laws, but most would consider this an act of nature and you are responsible for the damage caused by your neighbors tree. Call your insurance company, if you have a storm damage rider, this will most likely be covered.
