To be safe you should tell your home insurance company. It is better to be safe rather than sorry. You could get into serious trouble if you fail to claim something you need to claim.

Filing An Insurance Claim?
An insurance claim is the official act of asking an insurance company to make a payment according to the terms of an insurance policy. This is an important act because without it, there would be no way to receive compensation for covered damages. Most insurers issue instructions for filing a claim with their policy documentation. It usually involves a call to their claims department and the dispatch of an insurance adjuster to evaluate the claim. After the adjuster makes a recommendation, the insurance company either denies the claim or approves it for the amount the adjuster determined appropriate. Most companies have an appeal process that helps the insured have more input if the payment is insufficient.
