        "text": "Most homeowner's insurance policies typically cover sudden and accidental water damage from internal sources, such as a burst pipe or appliance malfunction, which can lead to wet carpets. However, damage from neglected maintenance, floods (which require separate flood insurance), or sewer backups may have different coverage terms or exclusions. It is essential to review your specific policy details or contact your insurance provider directly to understand what is covered. A professional restoration company can assist with documenting the damage for your claim.",
