Insurance Adjusters question Homeowners Insurance? Slab Leak causing Foundation to raise? Covered or not?

Slab drain leak causing foundation to raise in the center, and foundation issues. Please, experienced Insurance adjusters, what steps should I take to make sure this repair is covered by Allstate?

It's not covered. There are no steps you can take.

The only little bit of it that *might* be covered, relates to the "slab drain leak". Now, if the water came from a pipe that burst inside of the house, damage that you do to get to the actual leak, aka, breaking through drywall, or jackhammering through the floor & slab, is frequently covered. The cause of the actual leak is NOT covered, and any digging outside the house is NOT covered. Foundation problems caused by the water are not covered, the leaky drain is not covered, and any pipes are not covered.

If the water is groundwater, that should have sifted through the drain, there is no coverage for any part.

In any case, there is never any coverage for the foundation. Foundations are JUST not a covered part of ANY homeowners policies. Source(s): Agent, 20+ years

I researched the claims and found many paid claims including the slab when the slab was verified as being damaged by the water break and leak.

Many many claims covered the damage caused by the water including slab, my question may have been asked better, yet I wanted to know what steps (to prove cause) I should take to ensure it is insured.

Not covered. Below grade leaks (in or below the foundation) are not covered under your homeowners policy.

An endorsement for limited foundation coverage is coming out this year in various states, but you must have the endorsement and it will cost you a bundle. Its also not very helpful in my opinion. As with all plumbing leaks, the endorsment will not pay for the plumbing system itself, only ensuing damage and investigation to find the leak...and even then there is limited coverage.
