No, Your Home Insurance Won’t Cover Foundation Repair (Probably)

No, Your Home Insurance Won’t Cover Foundation Repair (Probably)

Your Policy May Cover Damage That “Sudden, Accidental” Events Cause. But Insurances Companies Avoid 99% Of Foundation Repairs Like The Plague.

A common question Amarillo-area homeowners ask me is whether their insurance covers foundation repair.

Answer: Only if it’s a sudden, severe event that necessitates the repairs. And maybe not even then.

I’ll explain.

Foundation repair is kind of like mold remediation. At least, that’s how insurance companies see it. Like mold remediation, foundation repair is an “unknown” procedure. It’s not like fixing a roof, mending siding, or performing a repair that’s easy to see and determine the underlying cause.

Nope. Foundation repair is out of sight, and it can be hard to gauge what’s causing the issue. As such, insurance companies typically only cover repairs caused by extreme events like a tree falling on your home.

But gradual foundation settlement or upheaval—the kind that 99.9% of homeowners experience? You either have to pay out of pocket or purchase expensive additional insurance coverage. And this can add hundreds to thousands of dollars to your insurance policy per year.

Foundation repair expenses are inevitable. Whether immediate or gradual, addressing them is crucial for your property’s stability and value. Explore your options wisely to ensure a lasting solution tailored to your needs.
