Foundation damage would be covered by an earthquake policy if there be indeed a quake, and you had this specific coverage (It's not standadrd). Settling would be covered under a builders Home builders Warranty, if you did indeed get one. These usually cover the first 10 years.
Else, you're up the creek.
Before you agree to an insurer, you have to know which and what they cover. It's all written surrounded by that contract paper which are covered and everything else. Review your Policy and you will find all what's surrounded by there. I'm sure that pretty much answer your question motivation every company doesn't have the same rules of coverage even the amounts. Read the Terms and Conditions of your policy. It explains in attendance.
Yes , it does .
Generally foundation damage is caused over a long time of time and insurance never covers water damage of this type. If a sudden flood or earthquake cause the damage in a single event, and if you hold appropriate coverage, it will be covered.
