Sure, as long as the damage was from a covered cause. The key to homeowners insurance is that the damage is due to a covered cause. If you a re searching to see if your insurance will pay for replacing the pipe because of lack of maintenance, no it will not. Maintenance is not covered on a homeowners policy.
Most will if it is in the slab. Where it can get tricky is when the pipe in in the yard.
Sorry but this is not a covered cause. It is more like maintenance. I remember a big issue with contractors using galvanized pipes going through concrete slab foundations. The chemicals in cement tends to dissolve galvanized pipe and if I remember correctly the contractors had to make payment on the damages. Homeowners insurance covers sudden and accidental damages that happened due to a covered cause such as fire, windstorm, vandalism, etc.
I presume you mean 'homeowner's insurance'. Some contracts do cover it, some don't. You will have to look at the small print in your own policy.
Yes.
AnswerIt may vary state to state but generally NO insurance will not cover the leaking pipe but it will cover the cost to get to it and repair the damage done to get to it as well as cover the damage done from the leak. You are on your own with the cost of the plumber. Best bet is to read your policy on exclusions. If it is not excluded, it's covered.
You'll have to contact your insurance agent and ask them, There are many different levels of Homeowners Insurance and it really depends on the breadth of coverage you purchased. As a general rule though. If the pipe collapsed due to a covered peril then it would be covered. If it collapsed due to age or normal wear and tear then it will likely not be covered due to it's being a maintenance issue.
GI Pipe is "Galvanized Iron" Pipe. These days the pipe will likely be made from steel rather than iron.
It depends on what state you live in and what exact policy you have. Some policies in certain states will cover this, others will not. You will have to refer to your specific policy and its endorsements. There are hundreds of variations on homeowners policies and endorsements between states and insurance companies..
Yes.
You always must determine the cause of the damage. What made the crawl space flood? If the cause is due to torrential rain then a homeowners policy will not cover this type of loss. What you would need here is a flood insurance policy. If for instance, a pipe burst, therefore causing the flooding of the crawl space, then the regular homeowner's policy will pay for the damages, except for the actual pay for the repair cost of the actual piece of the pipe.
ya the galvanized pipecan be use in undergrounds,,, because it is an iron pipe
Each insurance company is different, some i know will cover any pipe underground if its located within the footprint of your home, if its outside the home they may cover if its a specific peril such as rupture, if its just old and breaks then no this you will have to pay for. More information is needed to asses your situation
