P-U! Is sewage backup covered?

Stinky sewage back-up and overflowing drains are a very common cause of damage to homes and businesses, especially those located in flat areas or near the bottom of slopes. Many policies now exclude coverage for the clean-up and repairs, but for a mere $20 a year you can buy a "Back-up of Sewer or Drain Endorsement" that gives you up to $10,000 in coverage. The catch? A $1,000 deductible. But hey, that's still easy math.
