Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim
Homeowners policies often cover water damage from a sudden and accidental discharge, such as a burst supply hose. Slow seepage, a worn part and the cost of the washer itself usually fall outside that coverage. The policy wording decides, so ask the insurer before counting on payment.

- Ask the crew for the water category and drying class in writing
Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
