• The water exclusion clause is a standard feature of property insurance contracts, refusing to cover various categories of loss related to water events.

  • Generally, water exclusion provisions include floods caused by external causes; accident/reservation of sewerage or water supply; tsunami; stagnant or groundwater.
  • Homeowners’ policies usually protect against water damage resulting from a sudden incident inside the home, such as a broken pipe or an overflowing toilet.
  • Separate flood insurance provides flood protection.
