Homeowners Insurance

Your home's foundation might be covered within your current homeowner's insurance policy. Here's why –

In 2003 insurers lobbied the Texas legislature to remove the "accidental discharge of water" peril from the standard (HO-B) homeowner policy. They won. And ever since, the public perception has been that home foundations are no longer covered.

Not true.

Insurers have begun to "sell back" foundation coverage as part of the overall premium. Which means many folks are unaware if they have it or not. It’s definitely worth a call to find out. If your foundation problems are due to a leak in your incoming or outgoing plumbing system, this coverage would help pay for repairs.

Here is a list of Texas insurers for your convenience. If you see yours click the link and you will be connected to their contact and/or claim page. Give 'em a ring.
