BETTER PROTECTION, CLEAR GUIDANCE

Home insurance you can feel confident about

Your home is more than just a place — it’s where life happens. At Truska Insurance Agency, we help homeowners in Chicago, IL, and surrounding areas protect what matters most. We create homeowners insurance policies tailored to your lifestyle, assets, and peace of mind.

As an independent insurance agency in Chicago, we work with top carriers to provide comprehensive coverage for your dwelling, personal property, liability, and more. From fire and storm damage to theft or unexpected accidents, we make sure you’re protected — so you can enjoy your home without worry.

Customizable Home coverages

Dwelling Coverage

Dwelling Coverage is the foundation, providing financial protection for the structure of your home in case of covered damages.

Other Structures

Other Structures Coverage is a key component of a homeowners insurance policy that protects structures on your property that are not attached to your main home, such as  detached garages, sheds, gazebos, pergolas, swimming pools, fences, and gates

Personal Property

Personal Property Coverage in a homeowners insurance policy protects your belongings—furniture, clothing, electronics, and more—against covered perils like theft, fire, and storms. It ensures you can replace your possessions if they are damaged or lost.

Sewer & Water Backup

Sewer and backup and sump pump failure coverage to protect your basement from flooding is a common issue in many Chicago neighborhoods.

Personal Liability Protection

Personal Liability Insurance provides financial protection if you are found legally responsible for bodily injury or property damage to others.

Loss of Use

Loss of Use Coverage in a homeowners insurance policy provides financial assistance if your home becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss, such as a fire, storm damage, or other insured peril. It helps cover temporary living expenses while your home is being repaired or rebuilt.

Personal Articles Coverage

A Personal Articles Floater policy provides specialized coverage for high-value personal belongings that may exceed the limits of a standard homeowners or renters insurance policy. It offers broader protection, including coverage for accidental loss, theft, and damage.

Identity Theft

Identity theft can happen to anyone. If your personal information is stolen and used fraudulently, the costs to restore your credit and reputation can be overwhelming. Identity theft coverage helps you recover quickly and with less stress.

Optional Coverage Enhancements

The amount it would cost to buy a new, similar item to replace your damaged or stolen belongings, without factoring in depreciation.

Extended replacement cost is an endorsement on your home insurance policy that extends your dwelling coverage by 10% to 50% of the cost to rebuild your home.

Service Line Coverage protects against damage to underground utility lines that bring services like water, gas, or electricity to your home.

Matching roofing and siding coverage is an endorsement that can be added to your homeowner’s insurance policy. This endorsement provides coverage for the cost to replace your entire roof or redo your siding if damaged materials can’t be matched.

Sewer and water backup coverage is an optional endorsement added to a homeowners or renters insurance policy that protects against water or sewage backing up into the home through sewers, drains, sump pumps, or related systems.

Generally, personal cyber insurance may protect against ransomware and cyber extortion, online fraud, social engineering, SIM swapping, and cyberbullying.

Flood coverage covers losses from water damage caused by flooding and may help protect your home and belongings.

Earthquake insurance typically pays for repairs to your home if it suffers structural damage from ground movement during an earthquake. That damage can include foundational cracks, broken walls, or the total collapse of your home
