Water damage from a sewer or drain back-up usually wont be covered on a standard policy. However, most insurers offer optional sewer and water back-up coverage that you can add to your policy for an additional premium.
While homeowners insurance protects you against some forms of unexpected water damage, water back-ups and sump pump overflows are usually not covered. You may purchase optional water back-up coverage that may pay for damages in the case of sewage back-up or a malfunctioning sump pump.
Without an endorsement, your insurer may still help cover the cost of the repairs, up to your policys limits, if the line is located on your property and the damage occurs sudden and accidentally. A standard homeowners policy may also pay to repair the actual sewer line if a covered peril caused the damage.
Sewer and Water Backup coverage is an endorsement on homeowners policies. It usually comes in different coverage increments: $5,000. $10,000.
Damage caused by a sewer backup is only covered by flood insurance if its a direct result of flooding; the damage is not covered if the backup is caused by some other problem. It may be a good idea to purchase coverage for the building (the structure) and its contents.
