Posted: Mon Feb 01, 2010 2:07 am   Post subject: water seepage   A contractor enclosed my carport but did not build up the foundation. My house was built on a concrete slab. When it rains water seeps in the room. Would this be covered under my homeowners policy	sheliab44 New member Joined: 01 Feb 2010 Posts: 1 1.32 Dollars($)

He may be insured or at worst case will pay out of his pocket one way or the other if you can prove he caused the problem. _________________ Can I say I’m working if I stare blankly at my computer all day?

It's that seepage and resulting damage is excluded.	tcope Forum Expert Joined: 22 Nov 2006 Posts: 5069 Location: Salt Lake City, UT 272.92 Dollars($)
