There is a difference between Flood & Water Damage.
- Water damage and flooding in the home are 2 different categories.
- “Flooding” is NOT covered by your home owner’s insurance policy.
- Water damage is defined as unwanted water in your structure from internal leakage such as a hot water tank, hose, pipe, toilet, washing machine hose, sprinkler system etc. and is covered by your policy.
- Flooding is defined as unwanted water in the structure from an outside source such as thru the foundation, thru a doorway, and rain water, rivers, and lakes.
- Flooding requires specific “flood” insurance.
- There are some gray areas such as gutters and roofs.
I’ve been doing this for 20 years and I love helping people with the best solutions.
