What’s the difference between normal and dangerous foundation cracks?

Differentiating between harmless and potentially dangerous cracks often involves examining their size, direction, and location. Harmless cracks tend to be thin, hairline fractures. In contrast, dangerous cracks can be wider, run horizontally or diagonally, and may be accompanied by wall bowing or other structural changes, indicating deeper foundational issues.

Does homeowners insurance cover chimney repair?

Homeowners insurance may cover chimney repair if the damage is caused by a covered event, such as a storm, fire, or fallen tree, but it typically does not cover damage resulting from normal wear and tear, settling, or lack of maintenance. Review your policy and contact your insurance provider to confirm what your coverage includes.
