In most states, homeowner's insurance does not cover water damage from a leaky roof. Water damage is generally covered under a separate policy called flood insurance.

Unfortunately not. Read your policy well but more then likely not! I worked in two different insurance companies and water damage was a very big deal! The only way you could get any type of coverage was if you had flood insurance, if you lived in a flood zone, and IF FEMA declared it a flood! Sorry!
