Typically, water backup coverage or sump overflow coverage is designed to protect against specific types of water damage caused by overflow or backup from a sump pump. However, if you do not have a sump pump and your basement floods due to heavy rain or a leak in your foundation, standard homeowners insurance may cover some damages, but it largely depends on the specific terms of your policy.
You should review your insurance policy to see if it includes coverage for water damage from sources such as leaks in your foundation or heavy rainfall. Some policies may have exclusions or limitations on coverage for flood-related damages. Additionally, you might need to look into flood insurance separately, especially if you live in an area prone to flooding.
It’s best to consult with your insurance agent to clarify your coverage and understand what specific protections you have in place.
