Foundation Repair questions, answered by experts

No, foundation repair is not usually covered by home insurance. Most home insurance companies typically consider foundation repair as part of your home maintenance, so they won’t cover the cost. However, foundation damage is sometimes caused by covered events such as a burst pipe or a house fire. In these cases, repairs may be covered.

You could DIY the work, but unless you have plumber’s knowledge for identifying and fixing a slab leak and specialized equipment in your tool shed, attempting to DIY your slab leak repair isn’t a good idea. It’s simply not something that the average homeowner can take on themselves, regardless of how many successful DIY projects they’ve got under their belt. You could, however, do something simple like foundation waterproofing yourself to save some money on the post-repair work.

Home foundations are designed to last a lifetime when properly constructed and well-maintained. A poured concrete slab can last 200 years, while concrete blocks can last 80 to 100 years. A pier foundation can last about 75 years. Brick or stone walls can last 100 years or more.

Trenchless sewer replacements are actually a great solution for sewer lines located under concrete. A professional can still sleeve and burst old piping to make room for a new one without having to dig up your slab.

Cracks, spalling, uneven surfaces, and weather damage often necessitate professional repair or resurfacing.
