Will my insurance cover water damage restoration?

Determining if your insurance covers water damage restoration involves several considerations, including the cause of the damage, the specifications of your policy, and any relevant exclusions. Typically, standard homeowners' insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as from burst pipes, faulty appliances, or an overflow from a washing machine or bathtub. However, gradual damage, like that caused by a leaking roof or pipe over time, is generally not covered as it falls under the homeowner's maintenance responsibilities.

The origin of the water is also critical. Damage from internal sources, like burst pipes or appliance leaks, is usually covered, while damage from external sources, such as flooding from rain or storms, is often excluded from standard policies. Flood damage typically requires separate insurance. Additionally, if the damage is due to neglect or improper maintenance, your claim could be denied. Standard policies often exclude sewage backup, although this can be added through an endorsement.

An insurance adjuster will likely be sent to evaluate the damage and determine what is covered. Some policies may require you to use a preferred vendor or suggest professional water damage restoration services. To confirm if your water damage restoration is covered, review your insurance policy and contact your provider directly. They can clarify your coverage details and guide you through the claims process. For immediate assistance, please call (207) 489-8371.
