Will homeowners insurance cover a cracked foundation?
My sister recently had a cracked slab. Her insurance did not cover it, but the builder's insurance did. Builder's insurance is usually 10 years, so I guess it would depend on the age of your home. I would also find out the cause of the crack and weather or not there is product liability insurance involved. There are numerous variables that can cause a liability situation to an insurance company or insured. I would call a contractor to find out the cause of the crack. http://www.fhia.com

The answer to this question has little to do with the cracked ceiling but what caused the ceiling to crack in the first place. If it is caused by settling of the home or earth movement then the ceiling crack would not be covered. If a tree limb fell due to a windstorm and damaged the ceiling then it would be covered under a homeowners policy.

Does Home Owners Insurance cover foundation repair?
It depends on how the foundation was damaged and whether or not it was done by a covered cause or not. If a vehicle runs off the road and hits your home then it would be . covered whether or not the person had insurance. If the person did not have insurance, your homeowners policy covers damage caused by a vehicle. If the damage was caused by settling of the home and this caused the foundation to crack then no, the homeowner's insurance will not pay for this repair because it was caused by lack of properly putting in the foundation correctly or a lack of maintenance. Maintenance is never covered by your homeowner's insurance policy. Maintenance is the responsibility of the homeowner and it is never ending.

Why don't insurers cover foundational repairs when it seems that the foundation is the most critical part of a home?
Foundational Repair CoverageBecause foundation problems are caused mostly by land movement (settling). Every concrete foundation, slab, driveway, sidewalk patio or structure will naturally develop cracks over time, (normal wear and tear) and all insurance companies have exclusions that specifically state no coverage under general homeowners for land movement. Some flood policies would cover it though if it was water that caused the earth to move. Also earthquake insurance will cover if it was a quake or aftershock that cause a home to slip or crack.
