MINE SUBSIDENCE

A Mine Subsidence Insurance Policy provides peace of mind by covering damage caused by mine subsidence. 

​

Mine subsidence insurance in Pennsylvania is a specialized form of coverage designed to protect homeowners from damages caused by the collapse of underground mines. Pennsylvania is known for its extensive history of coal mining, which has left a legacy of abandoned mines throughout the state. These mines can pose a risk to property owners, as subsidence events can result in significant damage to homes and structures built above them.

​

The Pennsylvania Mine Subsidence Insurance Fund (PMSIF) offers coverage to eligible property owners for losses resulting from mine subsidence events. This coverage is separate from standard homeowners insurance policies and is available to residents of designated subsidence districts.

​

Property owners can purchase mine subsidence insurance through the PMSIF to protect their homes and belongings from the financial consequences of subsidence-related damages. The coverage provided by the PMSIF typically includes repairs to the structure of the home, as well as reimbursement for damaged personal property and additional living expenses if the home becomes uninhabitable.

​

It's important for Pennsylvania homeowners to assess their risk of mine subsidence based on their property's location and proximity to abandoned mines. If you live in an area with a history of mining activity, obtaining mine subsidence insurance can provide valuable peace of mind and financial protection against this specific risk. Working with an insurance agent familiar with the intricacies of mine subsidence coverage can help ensure you have the appropriate level of protection for your home.
