It depends on your specific insurance policy. Generally, standard homeowners insurance policies may cover water damage due to flooding from heavy rain or leaks, but this typically excludes certain situations, especially if it involves a sump pump failure. However, if water enters your basement due to a leak in the foundation and it is not due to an overflow from a sump pump, there might still be coverage for the damages.
It’s important to read the fine print of your policy or speak with your insurance agent to clarify what is covered. You may want to consider additional flood insurance if you live in an area prone to flooding, as standard policies may not cover all water damage scenarios. Always check with your insurer to ensure you have the right coverage for your needs.
