Overflow Water Damage and Discharge water Damage

3/1/2021 (Permalink)

Sudden and accidental discharge or overflow from plumbing or appliances are usually covered on standard home policies. Overflow and discharge water damage is the type of water damage most people think about when they imagine a water damage claim in their home.

Overflow involves water escaping or overflowing from appliances, pipes or water outlets in your home. Some examples include your bathtub or washing machine overflowing.

Discharge is what happens when water is released from plumbing or appliances and then floods your home. For example, if your water heater gives out or a pipe bursts, there is a sudden discharge of water.
