Plumbing Tip Meets Insurance Advice: What Every Homeowner Should Know
You might not think plumbing and insurance go hand in hand, but trust us—they do. One leak can drain your wallet and test your patience if you're not prepared.
Get your pipes inspected before they give you trouble. A small drip today can become a burst pipe tomorrow. Pay special attention to:
Old water heaters
Washing machine hoses
Outdoor taps (especially before winter)
Leaky toilets (they waste gallons of water daily!)
Most standard home insurance policies don’t cover gradual plumbing leaks—they cover sudden damage, not neglect. That means:
If you knew about a leak and didn’t fix it, you could be on your own.
Water damage from lack of maintenance? Often denied.
But if a pipe bursts unexpectedly and causes damage—now you're in better shape with your insurer.
Keep receipts of regular maintenance and inspections. If you ever need to file a claim, those records can be a lifesaver.
Bottom Line: A little prevention with your plumbing can save you from insurance headaches later. Stay ahead of the drip!
