Sewage Backup Insurance Coverage
Standard homeowner's insurance typically does NOT cover sewage backup damage unless you have a specific "sewer and drain backup" endorsement added to your policy. This endorsement is often capped at $5,000-$10,000. Given the average sewage cleanup cost of $2,000-$10,000+, this coverage may not fully cover restoration. Document all damage immediately and review your policy for specific sewage/sewer backup provisions.
