What is water backup & sump pump failure coverage?
Water Backup & Sump Pump Failure Coverage Examples
Did you know?
Sewer System Failure
Backed-up sewer lines can overflow into your home and require expensive repairs. Adding water backup coverage to your home insurance policy can help you cover those unexpected costs.
Sump Pump Overflow
Sump systems are designed to drain water but can fail when they lose power, break from age or too much water enters the basement. If yours fails and causes water damage, this policy may help to cover repairs or replacements.
Blocked Drain Tile
Drain tiles absorb water in the ground and channel it away from your home’s foundation. Obstacles, such as tree roots, can interfere and put extra pressure on your sump pump. This coverage can help pay to restore the flow.
