Blocked drains are not covered by homeowner's insurance. Keeping drains clear is the responsibility of the home owner and is considered routine maintenance. The insurance company may pay for damage to the home that a backup of water may cause, but any consideration that the insurer gives to such a claim would be subject to the terms and conditions of the policy. Payment would also be subject to the policy deductible.

Why does the toilet pan fill up the top and take a while to empty?
There is probably a blocked foul drain and the flushed water can not pass through. It would be worth having your drains cleaned out (not just rodded) and if the problem persists then a CCTV survey will be needed. You may be covered on your household insurance for this work although it may be worth just paying the contractor direct. It is common for drains to become blocked by wet-wipes, papaer towels etc so try to avoid throwing them down the loo!

Does insurance cover plumbing under the house?
If the plumbing burst and casues damage, yes. In other words, say your water heater goes and pours water all over the floor. The damage to the floors and items in your basement will be covered. Keep in mind that placing claims brings you closer to having your policy canceled. Do it wisely! Here's another answer: Depends on what you mean by "cover". If you have a plumbing problem like I did, where my main sewer line in my back yard collapsed because it was old and tree roots were crushing it, then no. If you have a collapsing sewer line, and water backs up into your basement, then in Wisconsin you would need to have a special endorsement to cover backup of sewers and drains for even the clean up and repair inside of your house to be paid for. If you are just asking if damage to your house as a result of broken pipes is covered, again I would say "it depends"! I don't think any company out there would pay to repair the plumbing, but they might pay for the resulting damage.
