Standard homeowners insurance policies explicitly exclude damage caused by backed-up drains and sewers, meaning standard coverage will not pay for professional cleanup or structural repairs following a sewer backup. However, insurance companies offer a specific, low-cost sewer and drain backup endorsement that you can purchase and add to your policy to cover these exact catastrophic losses. Verification: Review your current homeowners insurance declarations page or contact your insurance agent to verify your specific coverage limits.
