No, Sorry. This is a maintenance issue and not a covered cause under your homeowners policy. Insurance claims must be for a covered cause and must be "sudden and accidental". Something like this happens over time and should have been corrected by maintenance.

How do you fight your insurance for classifying a claim as a water claim when it was not caused by water damage and there was no pay out?

Your question does not give enough details of your damage. What EXACTLY happened? Water damage includes such things as water pipe breaks & leaks, appliance overflows (washer, A/C drain line), roof leaks, wind-driven rain entering around windows & flashings, surface ground water (flood, seepage).


Does state farm cover slab leaks?

State Farm is very likely to cover water damage, and the repair of a leak to stop water damage that has already occurred in your home. They may or may not cover slab leaks that have not caused damage to your home or belongings. They will almost certainly cover the cost of a pipe that leaks upstairs and causes massive amounts of damage through the ceiling and downstairs. Only a claims adjuster can tell you for certain whether any given circumstances will be covered.

Does home insurance cover leaks from the roof?

It depends on teh cause of the damage. If you had a big storm that caused a tree to fall on your roof and puncture it and rain came in at the same time then yes it would cover the damage. If you had leaks in the roof due to lack of maintenance and leaks occured in the roof then no it would no cover this type of damage. Home insurance covers damage that is "sudden and accidental" and caused by a covered cause, it does not cover maintenance, normal wear, and damage that happened over a period of time.
