Does Insurance Cover Water, Fire, or Storm Damage Restoration?

Most homeowners and commercial policies cover water, fire, and storm damage restoration when the damage is sudden and accidental, think a burst pipe, a house fire, or wind and hail damage. What’s typically not covered is damage from long-term neglect, like a slow leak that was never addressed, or flooding from an outside water source, which usually requires separate food insurance.

A few things that make a real difference in how smoothly a claim goes:

• Document the damage immediately, before cleanup starts, with photos and video.
• Report the claim as soon as possible: most policies have reporting windows.
• Work with a restoration company that documents the full scope of the damage, not just what’s convenient to fix.
