Does Inland Marine Cover Water Damage?
Inland-marine water-damage coverage depends on the cause; flood, leaks, seepage, and water during transit may be treated differently.
A flood, burst pipe, gradual seepage, and water damage during transit can trigger different exclusions or limits.
Identify the water event and check its definition, deductible, safeguards, and flood terms. Ask for the endorsement or exclusion that applies to your property and location.
