Does house insurance cover collapsed drains?

Many home insurance policies cover collapsed drains if the damage is sudden and accidental, but not if it’s caused by wear and tear. That’s why it’s so important to keep up with the maintenance and more basic repairs.

It’s worth checking your policy or asking your insurer directly as a first port of call.

Who is responsible for damaged drains?

If the drain is within your property boundary and serves only your home, you’re responsible.

Shared drains or those outside your boundary are usually maintained by your local water company.

How to repair a damaged drain pipe?
