BROAD FORM WATER DAMAGE COVERAGE HIGHLIGHTS

This important coverage can be added through a variety of optional endorsements that are available to building and business owners.

Broad Form Water Damage Coverage typically provides protection against losses to a commercial building, up to the limits specified in the policy and minus the policy deductible, if damage is caused by the following types of events:

  • Water Backs Up through a Sewer or Drain
  • Water Originating from Below the Surface of the Ground Flows, Seeps, or Leaks into the Building, Foundation, or Other Opening

DO YOU STILL NEED A COMMERCIAL FLOOD INSURANCE POLICY?

Even if you have Broad Form Water Damage Coverage, securing a separate Flood Insurance policy is essential. Flood Insurance typically covers property losses that are generally not found in any other endorsements, including damages that occur due to the following types of waters entering a building from the outside:

  • Surface Water
  • Waves, Tidal Water, or Tidal Wave
  • Overflow of Streams or Other Bodies of Water

We’ve had our homeowners insurance with The Andover Companies for over six years and are happy to have recently added our secondary home with them in another New England state. I highly recommend insuring with them.”

Homeowner

“You can truly understand the value of your home insurance when you have a claim. My husband and I experienced firsthand how easy it was to work with The Andover Companies. A tree fell on our property, blocking the driveway. We submitted a claim with Andover and within days had a check in hand to reimburse us for the tree removal. The process was seamless.”
