Water Damage Insurance

Insurance companies are not always clear when it comes to explaining your coverage in the event of a water emergency. Your insurance coverage can vary a great deal depending on the provider, as well as the specific policy and any applicable riders. It is best to know the details when assessing your insurance coverage and starting the water damage cleanup process.

Damage typically covered by insurance may include:

• Sewer backups (often termed fill-ups by insurance)
• Burst pipes
• Appliance malfunctions or overflows, discharges or fill-ups
• Weather - related water damage from melting snow, ice or tornadoes

Your specific coverage is dependent on your homeowner’s policy guidelines and deductibles. Check with your insurance provider about your policy details for more information and to stay fully informed in the event of an emergency.

Typically, most insurance companies cover unexpected water damage. Damage caused by an ongoing issue or structural problem may not be covered.
