Understanding Burst Pipes and Insurance Coverage
Wondering if your insurance covers burst pipes or plumbing leaks? Generally, sudden and accidental incidents are covered. While the repair of the pipe itself might not be covered, the expenses for accessing and repairing the affected area to fix the pipe and any resulting damages are typically included in most policies.

Understanding Burst Pipe Insurance Claims
Burst pipes are a significant cause of plumbing failures, accounting for about 33% of such incidents in the United States. Unlike frozen pipes, which are more common in colder climates, burst pipes result from the failure of the pipe itself. They can occur anywhere there are pressurized plumbing lines, including within concrete foundations (known as slab leaks). Burst pipes can lead to extensive damage, necessitating an insurance claim to cover repairs and replacements.
Dealing with the aftermath of burst pipe damage involves various considerations, from documenting the loss to mitigating further damage. Hiring a Public Insurance Adjuster is essential to ensure your claim is handled fairly and comprehensively. At Experienced Public Adjusters, we work alongside water restoration technicians, leak detectors, and state-licensed mold assessors to provide thorough documentation and support throughout the claims process.
