Will homeowner's insurance cover an overflow toilet?
No. Homeowners insurance does not provide coverage for routine expected plumbing maintenance issues. However, If you have "Accidental Water Discharge" coverage on your policy, then you will be covered for resulting damages from the overflow but not for the actual plumbing repairs needed. If you have damages that resulted from the overflow, once you have made the required plumbing repairs the company will invoke the damage coverage. If you do not make the necessary plumbing repair then the insurance company will not fix the other damages that resulted from it. The reasoning is that if the homeowner refuses to maintain the home, then this is a moral hazard (negligence) on the part of the homeowner and the damages that result from lack of maintenance will be ongoing.
Does homeowner insurance cover plumbing?
If the plumbing burst and casues damage, yes. In other words, say your water heater goes and pours water all over the floor. The damage to the floors and items in your basement will be covered. Keep in mind that placing claims brings you closer to having your policy canceled. Do it wisely! Here's another answer: Depends on what you mean by "cover". If you have a plumbing problem like I did, where my main sewer line in my back yard collapsed because it was old and tree roots were crushing it, then no. If you have a collapsing sewer line, and water backs up into your basement, then in Wisconsin you would need to have a special endorsement to cover backup of sewers and drains for even the clean up and repair inside of your house to be paid for. If you are just asking if damage to your house as a result of broken pipes is covered, again I would say "it depends"! I don't think any company out there would pay to repair the plumbing, but they might pay for the resulting damage.
