Can a water leak be covered by homeowners insurance?

• <div><p>In many cases, homeowners insurance can and does cover water leaks. If your plumbing is leaking because of an unexpected accident or breakdown, your policy likely covers the cost to remediate the problem. But if you simply haven’t been keeping up with appliance and fixture maintenance, you may not be able to get reimbursed for the repair.</p><p>Your homeowners insurance may also cover a water leak from your roof, particularly if the leak was caused by storm damage. If the leak stems from simple wear and tear on your roof—that is, your roof is old, and it’s about time to replace it—homeowners insurance likely won’t help.</p></div>

What causes an outside spigot to leak?

• <div><p>That pesky faucet leak can have a few different causes, most of which are standard wear and tear that occurs over time, but that doesn’t make it any less annoying, especially when the energy bill hits:</p><ul><li><p><b>Old washer: </b>A deteriorated washer or gasket is the most common cause of a leak. Luckily, it’s easy and affordable to fix.</p></li><li><p><b>Old packing nut: </b>There’s a chance the packing nut (located beneath the handle) is loose and simply needs tightening, or it has been worn down, stripped, and needs to be replaced.</p></li><li><p><b>Freezing temperatures:</b> The water sitting in your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/freeze-proof-faucets.htm">spigot over winter can freeze</a>, expand, and lead to damage and leaks.</p></li><li><p><b>High water pressure: </b>High water pressure is hard on pipes over time and can cause cracks and leaks, too.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can you use the outside spigot in the winter?

• <div><p>It is safe to use a frost-proof or freeze-proof spigot or pump in the winter if you live in an area with freezing temperatures. Otherwise, it's best to fully drain and shut down your outside spigot in the winter to avoid cracking a pipe.</p></div>

Q: Where does the bathtub overflow water go?

• <div><p>The overflow drain and wastewater drain connect to the same main pipe to take water away from your bathtub. Your overflow drain is meant to prevent damage to your bathroom&mdash;especially the floor around your bathtub, where excess water can quickly create a mold or mildew problem. </p></div>

Q: Should I turn water off to prevent pipes from freezing?

• <div><p>Under normal circumstances, you don&rsquo;t need to turn interior water off if it&rsquo;s cold outside. But if you plan to be away during cold weather for more than a day, turning off the water can help prevent freezing and burst pipes. If you lose heat, turning off the water can help to keep pipes from freezing as well. You should turn off exterior pipes for sprinklers or outdoor irrigation for the season once temperatures begin to fall in the late fall and early winter.</p></div>
