Does Liberty Mutual home insurance cover water damage?

I just bought a home in an area that’s known for flooding. While flooding is infrequent in that area, I do know it can happen, so I want to make sure my house is covered. Since I already have insurance with Liberty Mutual, I’m looking at staying with them. Will home insurance with Liberty Mutual cover water damage?

Liberty Mutual’s
home insurance will cover certain types of water damage, but you will likely want to look into additional flood coverage for your area.
Liberty Mutual’s
home insurance
covers water damage from backups and overflows from:
  • Sump pump wells
  • Sewers
  • Drains
Water damage not explicitly named in the policy likely will not be covered. Since you’re buying a home prone to flooding, you’ll want to look into purchasing additional flood coverage. You can get
flood insurance
through FEMA’s
National Flood Insurance Program (FLIP)
. Keep in mind that some lenders may require flood insurance and home insurance if you’re house is in a flood zone.
