Q: Does homeowners insurance cover the cost of slab leaks?

• <div><p>Whether your homeowners insurance covers slab leak repairs depends on your specific policy and the cause of the leak. Many policies cover slab leaks resulting from a covered peril, such as a natural disaster, a falling tree, or pipes freezing and bursting within the slab. However, damage caused by invading tree roots, corrosion, or leaks from appliances may not be covered by a standard policy. It's a good idea to also check your home warranty plan for potential coverage if an appliance is the source. Contact your insurance provider for a full explanation of what your policy covers.</p></div>

Q: How do you keep moisture out of a brick wall?

• <div><p>Brick is designed to absorb moisture, but it is also designed to let it evaporate as well. So in general, the goal shouldn&rsquo;t necessarily be keeping moisture out but making sure it has the room to breathe. If you have excess moisture getting through your brick wall, it&rsquo;s more likely that you have a crack or other issue at play that a typical sealant won&rsquo;t fix. So, instead of investing in sealant, try <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-repairing-brick-wall-cost.htm">repairing your brick wall</a> instead. </p></div>

Q: Do crawl spaces attract bugs?

• <div><p>Yes, crawl spaces can attract bugs, especially since moisture tends to build up in the space, and moisture attracts pests. A good way to prevent pest infestation in your crawl space is to install a vapor barrier&mdash;called <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/seal-wet-crawl-space-encapsulation.htm">crawl space encapsulation</a>&mdash;on the interior to seal the space, along with a French drain or some other kind of foundation drainage system outside to keep runoff out of your crawl space. You can also seal foundation cracks and repair damages to cut off access to pests.</p></div>

Q: Can you get sick from a wet basement?

• <div><p>While water in your basement is unlikely to make you sick unless it&rsquo;s coming from a sewage backup, mold is likely to start to grow in wet areas within 24 hours, and mold can make you sick. According to the <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/mold-health/about/index.html">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)</a>, inhaling mold spores can cause allergy symptoms, including runny nose, itchy eyes, difficulty breathing, wheezing, and itchy skin. Individuals with pre-existing respiratory issues like asthma and immunocompromised individuals are at an elevated risk of symptoms when inhaling mold spores.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a raised foundation?

• <div><p>Regular inspections, proper drainage management, and ensuring soil stability help prevent future settlement issues.</p></div>
