Who do I call first for a home emergency in Hampton?

Does insurance pay for emergency repairs in Hampton?
For homeowners, a standard policy usually covers sudden and accidental damage like a burst pipe, but not slow leaks, wear and tear, or flood water from outside. For renters, the building is normally the owner's responsibility and renters insurance covers your belongings. Virginia has its own rules, so check your policy and local law.
