Does homeowners insurance cover damage from heavy rain?
Homeowners insurance may cover water damage caused by heavy rain if it enters your home as the result of a covered event, such as wind damaging your roof. However, flooding from rising water is typically not covered under a standard homeowners insurance policy.

If your belongings are stolen during a covered theft, your homeowners insurance may help pay to repair damage to your home and replace your stolen personal property, up to your policy limits. Keeping an inventory of your belongings can make the claims process easier.
