It depends on the peril, the policy form, exclusions etc. You need to turn in your claim to get this answer. If the peril/loss is covered it should also cover (barring any exclusion to the contrary), damage that resulted from the water damage.

∙ 12y agoIt depends on what caused the leak.
If your leak was caused by a covered peril on your policy such as Hail wind fire etc, then your homeowners insurance would cover the cost of a repair and the repair of internal damage resulting from the leak.
If the leak is resultant of aged material or normal wear and tear such as an old faucet or an old roof that has outlived the life of the material, then it is a maintenance issue and would not be covered under your homeowners insurance policy.

However, these tend to be filled with legal jargon, so I would call your agent or find the underwriting department at your insurance company. Be sure to find out what KIND of cause for the water damage is covered. Floods, natural disasters, and sometimes even sewer line breaks frequently aren't covered.
