Does Farmers home insurance cover water damage?
My house has older plumbing that works fine now, but I’m worried about it causing problems later on. Does Farmers home insurance cover water damage?

That’s a fair concern, and it’s good that you’re looking into what your policy may cover ahead of time. Your
Farmers
home insurance policy may cover water damage if a covered peril
causes the damage. If the water damage was caused by a burst or frozen pipe, your Farmers home insurance policy will likely offer coverage. However, if the cause was a known plumbing issue that was ignored for too long, normal wear and tear, or age, that would make coverage less likely.
Generally, home insurance policies don’t include coverage for water damage when the source of flooding is from outside the home. You usually need separate flood insurance for this.
