Water Damage and Insurance

Different types of water damage are insured by different types of policies. Insurance for homeowners and renters covers burst pipes, wind-driven rain, and damage from ice dams on your roof. Typically, water damage originating from above—like rain and burst sprinklers—is included in a standard homeowners policy.

Some policies cover sewer and drain backups, but many do not; however, you can purchase a sewer backup rider to your homeowners or renters coverage.

Water that rises from below, like from an overflowing river, is usually covered by a distinct flood insurance policy. This policy can be acquired through the federal government’s National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and some private insurance companies.
