Generally, wind-driven rain damage is not covered by most insurance policies. Wind-driven rain can cause extensive damage to homes, but it usually occurs due to an existing fault or defect in the home’s structure that allows the water to enter. For example, if you have missing or damaged shingles, gaps in siding, or a broken window, the water can easily enter and cause extensive damage. Most insurers will not cover any wind-driven rain damage caused by existing defects or faults.

Does homeowners insurance cover fire damage to a neighbor’s property?

Generally, if the fire started on your property and caused damage to your neighbor’s property, then your homeowner's insurance will usually cover the damage under your personal liability coverage. However, the coverage is usually limited to the amount of insurance you have purchased and may not cover all of the costs associated with the damage. It is important to check with your insurance provider to make sure that you are adequately covered before a fire occurs.
