Does homeowner’s ins cover sewer pipe damage caused by drilling holes on the outside of your house?

The homeowner insurance policy covers you for direct damage to the home and contents. If there is water damage to the home due to a plumbing issue, the policy will pay for the damage to the home, but not the pipe involved. Any such loss is subject to the homeowner policy deductible.If you have plumbing issues outside of the home, there is no coverage for this loss or any damage it may cause to your property, other than the home itself.You didn’t indicate what the private individual was doing while drilling the holes in the property. If this was done by a business, such as a plumber or septic system specialist, they would have liability coverage for any damage they cause. If this was simply a neighbor or friend, then you may be able to try to file a claim against their insurance, but it must be proven they were negligent in some way to cause the septic damage.
