However, the\u00a0condo\u00a0association\u2019s master policy may cover damage to\u00a0common areas\u00a0or the building\u2019s\u00a0structure.<\/p>\n<h2>Common Exclusions to Be Aware Of<\/h2>\n<p>Not all water damage is covered.\u00a0Condo\u00a0insurance policies often exclude:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Flood damage from external sources (such as heavy rain or overflowing rivers)<\/li>\n<li>Gradual leaks or long-term maintenance issues<\/li>\n<li>Sewer or drain backups (unless you have added specific coverage)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Flood insurance is typically a separate policy, and coverage for sewer backups may be available as an optional endorsement.
