What Kinds of Damage Usually Get Covered by Insurance?

Depending on your provider and your coverage requirements, the specifics of each policy will vary. Having said that, we’ll discuss the most typical homeowner’s coverage for each form of damage below.

Water Damage

Typically, an insurance policy will have provisions defining the difference between flood damage and water damage. When a pipe bursts or the plumbing becomes backed up, water damage is typically covered by a homeowner’s policy. Natural flooding is typically excluded (generally this is something you have to add to your policy).

Therefore, your home should be completely covered by your policy if it floods due to plumbing problems. However, unless you have a special policy covering this situation, you won’t be protected by insurance if a nearby river has spilled its banks and your property has flooded.

Covered

• Roof and window damage
• Backed-up plumbing or a pipe burst
• Plumbing-related home flooding

Not Covered

• House flooding from overflowing body of water
• Mudslides
• Rainwater penetrating through the soil

Storm Damage

Wind and tornado-related damage is covered by standard insurance policies. Some types of damage caused by rain and snow will also be covered. They should cover the costs of the cleanup if snow or rain got inside through an opening in your roof or window due to damage.

The guidelines for water damage still apply to damage caused by rain. You should be aware of whether or not you have a flood plan. If you don’t, your insurance will not pay for any damage caused by a natural flooding incident, and you will be responsible for paying the costs.

Covered

• Ice and snow
• Wind, rain, and tornadoes

Not Covered

• Floods
• Mudslides

Fire Damage

The majority of common homeowner’s insurance policies cover the cost of fire damage. In most cases, this is unaffected by the fire’s origin (except for intentional damage by the homeowner). All damages should be fully covered by the insurance provider, including reconstruction, contents restoration, and cleanup for water and smoke damage. Your insurance provider ought to reimburse any additional living expenses you incur while your house is being restored.

Mold

Mold remediation should be covered by your insurance company if the damage was a result of a “named peril” that has been listed on your policy. Damages won’t be covered if the cause of the damage is not listed in your policy, however. Typically, there is coverage for incidents like water damage from a burst pipe that caused mold. However, the majority of common insurance policies do not cover mold development caused by carelessness or floods.
