Homeowners insurance generally covers water backup damage caused by sewer or drain problems if the problem originates on your premises. An example of this would be a drain blockage from a toilet or shower in your house that overflows onto your property.

To obtain protection from water backup damage caused by sources off your premises, such as a sump overflow, you would need to purchase an endorsement policy. Protection against flood damage would require purchasing flood insurance as this is not covered by either your homeowners or endorsement policy.

By discussing coverage options with your agent, you can obtain adequate coverage to meet your particular needs. PMA Insurance Services, LLC offers homeowners insurance coverage from such top insurers as Progressive, Travelers, Hartford, Metlife, Allied, and Safeco.
