Water Damage Claims

 Water damage is one of the most common reasons people make claims on their home insurance. Ruptured pipes, faulty appliances and backed-up drains often lead policyholders to inspect their homeowner policy wording carefully.
Water damage coverage in the homeowner insurance policy is a confusing subject. Usually, the damage caused by water will be covered, but the item causing the loss, such as a leaky pipe or broken appliance hose, will not be covered. While your insurance company will pay for the damaged flooring from a ruptured appliance hose, it will be the policyholder’s responsibility to replace the bad hose. Parts and appliances wear out and it is not the intent of an insurance policy to cover wear and tear. However, if a sudden unforeseen covered cause of loss, such as a frozen pipe, leads to water damage, the pipe repair and the resulting water damage will be covered.
Flood, which occurs when a nearby tributary or body of water breaches its banks and flows into your home, is not covered under homeowner insurance. You must purchase flood insurance for that. You can purchase flood insurance as long as your community participates in the National Flood Insurance Program.

  2. I did not know that water damage was the most common claim. I think that emergency repairs should be done before the insurance company inspects.

  3. A water-damaged home is a nightmare. The paint will get chipped, the furniture wet, the floors and walls moldy. We almost thought we had to renovate our home just after months of living there because of all the troubles we had to face. It was good news that we found out that it is possible to restore a water or fire damaged home. Now, we don't have to worry about renovating our house because the guys that we contacted got it done!
