Answer: In most cases
Explanation: Yes in most | | Belocura Cabinetry | Answer: No, never
Explanation: Flood insurance does not cover accidental discharge of water from a pipe. It only covers flood waters from rivers, rain storms, etc. | | Certified Inspectors, LLC | Answer: No, never
Explanation: In general, water damage from a burst pipe inside your home will be covered by a home owner's policy. If an outside pipe bursts & causes damage, that should be covered as well, but you must be able to demonstrate that the damage was caused from the burst pipe. If the problem is from poor drainage (a non-covered maintenance problem),your claim may be denied. | | Farmers Insurance-Chris Faverty Agency | | | ProMatcher | Answer: No, never

Explanation: If the flood is strong enough to move the foundation of the home and cause pipes to burst, than that is a residual result. Otherwise, your endorsement for water damage/sewer backup would cover it. | | Lockhart's Insurance Services | | | ProMatcher |
