Cook County, by the numbers
The line people find out about too late
A homeowners policy answers for water that escapes suddenly inside the house: a pipe, a hose, a water heater, an overflow. It does not answer for water that rises from outside. That is flood, it is bought separately, and cover starts 30 days after purchase.
It also does not answer for a leak that has been weeping behind a wall for a year, and the mold that came with it is excluded on the same reasoning.
