- Damage by natural forces: avalanche, storm, hail, snow pressure, flooding and high water, landslide, rockfall and rockslide.
- Flooding inside buildings caused by mains water, rain, snow, melting snow, ground water, blocked drains and by water beds, aquariums, oil from heating systems or oil tanks.
- Earthquake damage: damage or destruction of the insured building as a result of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
