Water damage is one of the leading causes of insurance claims but it may be rejected due to the homeowner’s negligence or failure to abide by the rules. Therefore, as a homeowner, it’s vital to understand the coverage of your particular policy when water damage strikes.
Knowing this upfront can even help you revisit your home maintenance schedule and make amendments where necessary. Nothing hurts more than being denied a claim as a result of “gradual damage” due to poor maintenance and repairs.

You don’t have to panic, just contact us the moment you need a reliable fire damage restoration contractor.
Causes of Water Damage
Water damage can happen as a result of heavy rainfall, flood, leaky toilet or plumbing fixture, faulty home appliance, or any other number of reasons. In most cases, what starts as a minor water issue can escalate into repairs costing thousands of dollars.
For instance, a leaking refrigerator may continue seeping water into your flooring and basement for a couple of months before you notice. A situation like this can damage property and many components of your home.
What your homeowner insurance will cover?
Your insurance policy should cover for sudden damages. For example, when your water heater bursts unexpectedly, spread water everywhere, and this soaks your wall, ceiling, or flooring, then you may get a cover.
Also, your policy may cover water damage caused by sleet, ice, or snow. However, it’s important to note that you’ll have to pay deductibles before your policy can cover anything. You may want to learn how to calculate your monthly deductibles.
What your homeowner insurance will not cover?
Generally, a home insurance policy will not pay for water damage that is caused by gradual damage or poor maintenance. For example, a leaky or faulty plumbing fixture that results in water damage is usually not part of a home insurance cover. Likewise, water seepage into your home from cracks in the foundation won’t be covered.
Your insurance company may also reject your claim if water seepage from your washing machine or overflowing bathtub causes water damage. Therefore, ensure to periodically access the condition of your appliances that can cause water damage.
Flooding is another case. If your home is situated along a flood-prone area, homeowner policy won’t cover in case of water intrusion and damage. You will have to purchase a separate flood policy. Contact your county assessor to determine if you are on a flood zone suppose you haven’t done this when you first build or acquire your home.
The Bottom Line
It’s best to contact your insurance agent for clarification on insurance policy terms. The best time to do this is before the water damage. Understanding the terms and how your insurance company defines them will help you know when and when not to file for a claim.
