What Kind of Damage Can a Water Leak Cause?
Sellers Answers
Water leaks can cause you big problems for your foundation. Remember that your foundation likes a balance between dry and wet. When the ground surrounding or underneath your foundation becomes saturated with water, it tends to sink and crack. This is bad. That's why if you suspect you have a leak, you need to get it fixed as soon as possible.
Remember to take your time in making repairs to a cracked foundation. You want give your foundation ample time to reasonably dry before piers are placed or mud is injected.
Insurance companies are reasonable when it comes to paying for repairs caused by foundation leaks, but they are cautious. The insurance company will pay to repair the leaks that are found under your foundation. Likewise, they will pay to repair resulting damage to the floor.
