Pipe under tub bust will homeowners insurance cover?

This depends on the sort of policy you've and what triggered the pipe to burst. Almost all house owner's policies won't duvet injury from water unless the motive is surprising and unintentional, or enters the condo from a gap in the dwelling that was once caused with the aid of an insured peril (i.E. Tree department falls by means of roof for the duration of a rain/wind storm. So if the pipe bursts for the reason that it's rusted, this might not be included seeing that the injury did occur immediately however occured over time. Additionally note that some policies do not duvet for water hammer, so assess your coverage if we suspect this would had been the reason (see hyperlink for definition of water hammer). An additional concern right now of the year is pipes freezing. You are required to make certain (either in my view or through a able man or woman) that the heating is being maintained throughout the natural heating season in your subject, despite the fact that you are away on trip. If the pipe that burst did so because it iced over, and it's located in an area of the residence that's typically unheated (i.E. Unfinished attic), then the injury is probably not blanketed.

I think so. Last winter a similar thing happened to me. A pipe in the wall leading up to the shower head had sprung a leak. I had no idea what the problem was. It ruined the bathroom floor, the vanity and wall, as well as part of the floor in an adjacent room. State Farm covered the damage............$6,000. I have flood insurance too, but it wasn't necessary to follow that route. Good luck.

Most homeowners will not cover the burst pipe, but will cover "ensuing damage" Call your agent.

should. call them and ask.
