In the event of heavy rainfall, homeowners may wonder if their insurance covers water damage caused by rain. In some cases, homeowner's insurance can indeed cover such damage, depending on how the rain infiltrated the home and the extent of the resulting harm.
The extent of coverage for rainwater damage to a home depends on the specific way the water penetrates the property. If the damage occurs suddenly and unexpectedly due to events like windstorms, homeowners insurance policies usually cover some of the costs associated with water damage. However, if the water damage is due to homeowner negligence, such as failing to repair a leaky roof, homeowners insurance will not cover the resulting damage. As a responsible homeowner, it's important to maintain your property to prevent potential water damage and to review your insurance policy to understand the extent of your coverage.
