Policy provides coverage for sudden and accidental losses. Don't know if this was sudden. Also, you have a deductible. Most likely since such a small area was damaged, the insurance company would only replace that small section if the carpet can be matched. If so, the loss would probably be under your deductible. Again, this sounds like it was an ongoing issue, not sudden.
Also, this would most likely be two separate occurrences and therefor subject to two different deductibles. |

| You can only claim compensation depending on the kind of policy you are insured by. Your policy dictates what is and isn’t covered. There might even be exclusions as far as water damage from a plant is concerned. |
