Some insurance companies will cover some of the cost of slab leak repair. You will not be able to get covered for the actual labor to cut the pipe, or the repair parts, but if you have slab leak coverage, the insurance company may pay to find the leak, dig to access the leak, and repair the concrete as well as the floor above the leak's location (subject to the terms and limitations of the policy). Some insurance companies will not cover the cost at all. Call your agent to start the process. If you are dissatisfied with the result, you may want to consider hiring a licensed independent adjuster to analyze the policy on your behalf and to act as your advocate.

∙ 10y agoLeaky showers and Plumbing are usually covered by a plumbers visit. Occassional maintenance is an normal and expected part of homeownership and is not a covered peril under your home hazard insurance.
Homeowners insurance is Hazard isurance that provides coverage for losses from named perils such as FIre, Wind, Hail, Lightning, falling objects, vandalism, etc.

∙ 8y agoIn General the leak itself would be considered a maintenance issue. Maintenance of the home is not covered under a homeowners insurance policy. However, If your policy includes coverage for "Accidental Water Discharge", then any resulting damage may be covered under that portion of your policy once you have fixed the leak. Accidental Water Discharge coverage will pay to fix the resulting damage, but only after you have performed your required maintenance. Just call a plumber. There would be no point in fixing the resulting damage if the homeowner does not want to fix the leak as the damage would just continue on forever.

∙ 14y agoIf the leak was sudden and accidental, they would cover the water damage. They would not cover the shower pan if the leak was caused by age, wear, tear or faulty construction.
