However, if the release of water from these sources doesn’t occur on your property, the resulting water damage is not covered. Your policy excludes water damage from all other sources when water comes into your home. Your policy excludes water damage due to sewer back-up, septic back-up and sump overflow unless special coverage is purchased for this type of loss. Please see your agent for details on this coverage.
