The Cost to Tear out and Repair Damaged Building

Many water pipes are located inside walls, ceilings, floors, or other places that are difficult to access. When an interior pipe is leaking, you may need to tear out a portion of the building to repair the pipe.

Fortunately, most property policies cover the cost of tearing out and replacing any portion of the building you remove to repair damage to the plumbing system or an appliance (such as a boiler) from which water or another substance has escaped.

In the water fountain scenario described above, suppose that the supply line is located inside a wall. To gain access to the damaged pipe, you must remove a portion of the wall. Your policy should cover the cost to tear out and replace that portion of the wall.
