Overview

Water Damage Claims

Whether a water loss is covered comes down to one thing: was it sudden and accidental, or slow and gradual. A burst pipe is the classic covered event; a leak ignored for months is usually treated as maintenance. And water that rises from outside is its own category that needs flood coverage. We document the cause carefully so your claim is filed the right way.

Typically covered

  • A burst or failed pipe
  • A water heater or appliance failure
  • A sudden supply-line break
  • Storm water entering through sudden roof or window damage

Usually not covered

  • Slow, long-term leaks treated as maintenance
  • Water that rises from outside (needs flood insurance)
  • Damage from neglected or deferred repairs
  • Ordinary wear and tear on old plumbing

Questions

Answers before you call

Is water damage covered by homeowners insurance?

Usually, when it is sudden and accidental like a burst pipe. Gradual leaks and outside flooding are handled differently, and we document the cause so it is filed correctly.

What is the flood exception?

Water that rises from outside, from storm surge or heavy rain flooding in at ground level, generally needs separate flood insurance rather than a standard policy.

Do you deal with the adjuster for me?

Yes. We write the estimate in Xactimate, the software adjusters use, and communicate with your carrier directly so you are not managing the claim alone.
