Plumbing leaks or any damage that you filed a claim for, through your insurance company, will be inspected by their own claims adjuster. These adjusters will look:

  • At where the damages on the pipes are
  • They will determine if it’s from a new or an old pipe
  • They will also determine if there were any signs of wear and tear or rust that may have caused the malfunction
  • If its because the damage was due to old age deterioration

Any insurance company should cover any accidental water damage that may be from your plumbing system. Your policy should cover:

  • Resident coverage: Any damage that were made to the foundation of your home or any pipes that were build in it, this is called dwelling coverage. The dwelling coverage may cover appliances that were built in to your home such as a water heater or the like.
  • Property coverage: personal items that have been destroyed because of plumbing leaks or malfunctions.
