Does homeowners insurance cover a well going dry?

Well, it depends. Your homeowners insurance will usually only cover a well going dry if the well’s failure or damage was caused by a covered catastrophe, like a storm. If your well dried up due to natural causes, though, your
homeowners insurance

. Even then, though, you’ll typically only be covered for 10% of the dwelling coverage. Your specific insurance provider may also offer add-on coverage for wells and other utilities on your property. If you want to make sure your home has the protection it needs without breaking the bank, just let
