Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim
Insurers tend to separate a sudden failure from long-term seepage. A sudden tank failure is often treated as covered water damage, and gradual leakage often is not. Read the policy or call the insurer before assuming either way.
- Save the plumber's note on why the tank failed
- Ask whether the policy has a separate water damage deductible
- Save texts and emails with the insurer
Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
