Washing machine overflows <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Usually, water damage from broken appliances is covered if the leak is sudden or accidental. If you failed to maintain the washing machine, your insurance won\u2019t cover the damage. To prevent washer overflows, check water supply hoses in your Florida home periodically and replace frayed ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sewer backup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Sewer backups in Florida homes are not covered by standard homeowners insurance, but you can purchase extra endorsements for sewers and drains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The groundwater is very close to the surface in most parts of Florida, and homeowners in the Lakeland and Plant City areas should check their homeowner\u2019s policies for sewer coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flooding from Florida natural disasters <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners policies. Floods can occur from storms, overflowing lakes, rivers, or oceans, and over-saturated ground. With Florida\u2019s high water table combined with its average of 51\u201d of rain per year, and miles of coastal areas, flooding is a common occurrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to get insurance for water damage caused by natural disasters, you need to get it separately.

Seepage is not sudden or accidental and is considered a maintenance problem. Seepage can be caused by pool leaks and heavy rains, two common aspects of life in Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Florida has the dubious honor of being the fifth rainiest state in the U.S. With over 50″ of rain annually on average, Florida roof leaks are all too common. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If the roof of your Florida home was poorly maintained before the leak, it\u2019s unlikely that it will be covered. However, water damage to your personal items is covered, depending on the type of policy you have. H0-3 policies are the most generous but also the most expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Humidity, high temperatures, and many home construction materials provide the perfect environment for mold in Florida homes.
