Will homeowners insurance cover a well pump that is bad?

Answer 1

Not likely. Most insurers would consider a well pump to be a homeowners maintenance issue.

Well pumps require replacement form time to time. they are a mechanical device and they just break down and die after a period of time depending on usage and ground and well condition's. It's no different from needing to do occasional mechanical repairs on your automobile. A warranty might help you if it's still in force but your auto insurance would not pay for mechanical breakdown. Likewise your homeowners insurance policy does not provide for maintenance costs of your home.
