Home insurance coverages-pest and foundation?
I am wondering if home owner's policies generally cover the following:
1. small animals (rats, squirrels or other rodents) living in your attic or walls. Would the policy cover any a professional pest control person to seal up the house and remove the animals and/or cover internal undermined caused by the animals?
2. Foundation settlement cracks. We have some minor settlement cracks around the house which cause water to leak into the vault. Would a policy cover the repairs of the cracks? Thanks.
"> 1. No.
2. If the damage was cause by an insured peril. However water seepage or leakage is not covered.
1. rodents and pests - including flea or termite infestations, etc, are typically excluded lower than the standard homeowners policy. These are just a normal looking after thing that you have to nip within the bud, early. So no treatment, no damage, is covered, for ruin by either rodents or insects.
2. Normal foundation settling is excluded on the standard homeowners policy.
Homeowners policy is not a maintenance contract - it's designed to protect against sudden, unpredictable losses. Neither of these are sudden or unpredictable. Sorry.
