Can my home insurance cover damage from underground pipes?
Someone installed a pipe incorrectly that is causing damage to my home and property. Can I submit a claim to my insurance company?
Emily Maracle · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“If you have an HO-2 homeowners policy, you may be covered for the water damage. Accidental discharge or overflow of water or steam is a covered peril within a HO-2 policy.
If you have a HO-3 policy, you would not have coverage as it is on the list of exclusions.
Coverage with your policy is also dependent on the type of damage the pipe is causing.
If you have additional coverage on your policy and the pipe causes your home or other structures to collapse, you may have coverage. This is because the use of defective materials in construction is covered under additional coverage for collapse.
However, you’ll want to reach out to your
home insurance
company directly. An agent can provide you with what exactly is and isn’t covered in your policy. They’ll also be able to advise you on whether you are able to submit a claim.”View full answer
