Does Your House Insurance cover Sewage Backup?
Many home and property owners are under the assumption that their insurance will cover the damage caused by a sewage backup.
This, isn’t always the case as most insurance companies have clauses that limit their exposure to paying out damage claims like this.
Neither homeowners, or flood insurance have provisions for a sewage backup, but you’ll want to check with your insurer.
Most insurers will offer sewage backup coverage as a separate product or “add-on” to your existing policy at an additional cost (which is quite reasonable).
For homeowners who know their area is prone to flooding this would be a wise idea.
Without the additional coverage often all a homeowner can be reimbursed for is the loss of use of the home.
For example you need to spend a few nights in a hotel while the mess is cleaned up. Your insurance company will probably provide a limited amount of coverage for these circumstances.
It’s a frustrating thing for homeowners and we’ve witnessed it many, many times. Homeowners insurance isn’t a force field around your home, nor is it a safety net for every issue.
Sewage backups being one of those issues that often, are just not covered.
What Causes Sewer Backups On Your Property?
Did you know that as a home or property owner you are responsible for the maintenance and repair of the main sewer line that runs from your property into the main municipal line? Many homeowners don’t realize this until after they’ve had a major problem with the sewer lines.
It can take a few years but eventually mother nature wins and your main sewer lines can actually deteriorate, tree roots can infiltrate them through tiny cracks, and they can become obstructed. Often, you’ll be clueless this is even happening until it’s too late. One really big rainstorm that overwhelms the storm drain systems is often all it takes to create a major plumbing disaster.
Common Causes For Damaged or Backed Up Sewer Lines
Old, Worn Out Sewer Systems – Many of the homes in our area of Denton are over 30 years old, some much older. It’s usually older systems that are affected from deterioration. In their weakened state they cannot withstand the pressures and volumes they used to.
Rainstorms and Sudden Surges of Water – Many underlying plumbing problems come to a head during severe wet weather. During heavy rainstorms the sewer systems are subjected to a deluge of water and if they are not in good working order they will simply be overwhelmed and you end up with a backed up sewage system.
Tree Roots – This is a common occurrence in residential sewer and drain systems. Tree root systems are massive and can stretch for potentially hundreds of feet depending on the size of tree or shrub. The problem with tree roots is that they are always seeking moisture. Plumbing and sewer systems are a perfect source of underground water. Often it starts with a tiny root, getting in through a crack, or poorly sealed joint. Over time, the root grows and grows until you have a root ball that is collecting all the waste and debris coming down the line. The result is a backed up system.
