        "text": "Homeowner's insurance typically covers water damage that is sudden and accidental, such as a burst pipe, appliance overflow, or fire suppression system discharge. However, policies usually exclude damage resulting from neglect, maintenance issues, or specific perils like floods (which require separate flood insurance) or sewer backups (which often need an endorsement). It's crucial to review your specific policy or contact your insurance provider immediately after discovering standing water to understand your coverage and initiate a claim.",
