Did You Know? Many homeowners insurance policies and home warranties do NOT cover water damage caused by a leaking water heater over 10 years old. If your water heater is aging, your home could be at risk of costly, uncovered damage.

Avoid Costly Water Damage: Many insurance companies deny claims for water damage caused by old water heaters.

Stay Covered: Some insurers require water heater replacement after 10 years to maintain full coverage.

Prevent Leaks & Flooding: Aging water heaters are more prone to leaks and ruptures, leading to expensive repairs.

Increase Energy Efficiency: Newer models are more energy-efficient, helping you save on utility bills.

Some insurance companies deny claims if your water heater is over 10 years old.

Others may have high deductibles (up to $5,000) for damage caused by old water heaters.

Home warranty companies may exclude coverage if the unit fails due to improper maintenance or age.

Check the age of your water heater. Look for the serial number on the unit to determine its manufacture date.

Review your homeowners insurance and warranty policy. Contact your provider to confirm coverage details.

Schedule a professional inspection. A licensed plumber can assess your water heater’s condition and recommend replacement if needed.

Consider proactive replacement. If your water heater is near 10 years old, replacing it now could save you thousands in potential damages.
