F.A.Q

Does your insurance cover broken drain line?

In most homeowner’s insurance, a broken drain line is considered an “other structure” of the home. This means that it is covered the same way as other factors in your policy. The causes that would be covered if the broken drain line is broken are:

  • Lightning or fire
  • Explosions
  • Vandalism
  • Hail or windstorm
  • Falling objects
  • Damages that were caused by airplanes or vehicles

Also, insurance companies can cover you if the broken drain pipe caused damaged to the drywall, paint, carpet and provide any other services you need to clean up the damage.

Clean the pipe underneath the sink. Put a bucket underneath the pipe, look for the cleanup plug, and lastly clean up the clear clog using a coat hanger. If there’s no plug, turn off all water lines and unscrew the pipe from under the sink. This should clear the clog.

Drain snakes are usually a good tool to drain out clog pipes. Before you attempt this, be sure to wear gloves and have a clean area to work on. Put the snake into the drain and constantly turn it slowly. Once it hits debris or any other sewage, pull it out and clear the clog.
