As with almost any insurance, it depends on your individual policy.
wear and tear, deterioration is not covered
Just contact your Home Insurance Company and ask them about it. Many companies are fine with this for small claims or minor repairs.
Repairs are maintenance and homeowners insurance is not intended to cover maintenance of your home. This is up to you to maintain your home. Insurance is made to cover sudden and accidental damage of a major cause such as fire, windstorm, lightening, and like causes.
If you want to collect the depreciation your insurance company withheld from your claim payment you must make the repairs to your home. After you make the repairs contact your insurance company and they should issue a check for the depreciation.
Yup.
It depends on what type of repairs you are talking about and what type of insurance you need. I assume that you have been denied insurance due to the condition of the home, right? Talk with your agent or another agent and be up front about the situation. You probably will not be able to purchase homeowners insurance but may be able to purchase some other type of insurance on the home while you do repairs. Homeowners is only for a house that you as the owner currently live in and lack of repairs shows the company no "pride of ownership" which is a big deal. If you don't care about the house, this is not one they want to insure. Talk to the agent about the situation and it's best if you deal with an Independent Insurance Agent so that they will have several companies to choose from in helping you.
Most homeowners insurance policies cover repairs caused by storm damage, however you will have to check your policy to be certain. Usually, you will have a fixed amount of time to claim damages.
No. Unless the foundation problem happened because of an earthquake or flood (and you have insurance to cover both catastrophic events), then your insurance will not cover something that has degenerated with time.
Contact the claims representative and have them adivise you on what to do.
Home policies include this coverage. These are necessary repairs for a large or total loss. I never have known for this to be excluded.
