If a waste water pipe breaks in the basement and the house floods everytime it rains does the insurance cover fixing the problem and the damage?

Answer

Waste water pipes are sewer lines.A break or leak in the pipe is a one time casualty which may be covered ie, freezing due to faulty heater..but when sewer lines are also storm drains the back up may be due to problems and overload in the city conduits. Install a backflow stop valve and seal the system to pass city health code.

Answer

Fixing sewer pipe is not covered by the policy. The water damage that occured to your property after the break is covered.
