What types of water damage are covered by insurance?

Each insurance policy is different, with variations in the deductible amounts, what is covered and other conditions. Water can cause property damage in several ways, including, but not limited to, the following: 

  • Storm surge due to a hurricane or other storm 
  • Sewer backing 
  • Water back 
  • Floods 
  • Sudden or accidental discharge 

For the most part, the determination as to what is covered by your insurance policy depends on the source of the water damage, the type of policy, and whether the water damage was accidental and sudden, or that it occurred gradually with time. In most cases, gradual water damage to property is not covered by an insurance policy. 

Although you may want to file your flood damage claim with your insurance company right away so that you receive your compensation as soon as possible, do not be too quick to fill out the paperwork. What is presented on your insurance claim is especially important and it is worth taking the time to ensure that your claim application is as complete as possible. To get started, review your insurance policy to make sure you understand all the coverages you are entitled to, as well as the deductibles, exclusions, and any liability you have as a homeowner. Collect any records of home repair and regular maintenance and organize these documents.
