Flooding in general is typically not covered by a homeowners insurance policy. Flood coverage is a separate type of coverage. Bear in mind that not all policies offer the same coverage. It may just depend on what the cause of your foundation failure and if that cause is a covered peril. Best advice is to contact your insurance agent and ask about the foundation coverage and what perils it would be covered for

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.
