Unfortunately not. Read your policy well but more then likely not! I worked in two different insurance companies and water damage was a very big deal! The only way you could get any type of coverage was if you had flood insurance, if you lived in a flood zone, and IF FEMA declared it a flood! Sorry!

Would homeowners insurance cover damage from a leaking gutter that damaged an enclosed porch ceiling and items on the porch?
No. Homeowners insurance is probably the best bargain in insurance by offering a great deal of coverages for a surprisingly small premium. The situation you are describing is not an insurance matter but a maintenance issue. It is not made to cover maintenance of the home but covers accidents that are "sudden and accidental". Homeowners insurance covers incidents that are caused by a covered cause such as theft, fire, lightning, windstorm, vandalism, weight of ice and snow, and many others. Things that happen over a long period of time are maintenance and are therefore not sudden or accidental and are not covered. An example would be a leaking roof caused by condensation from the A/C is not covered but if a storm caused a tree limb to fall on the roof poking a hole and causing a leak then damage would be covered.
