Construction Defect Insurance Coverage

Construction Defect Coverage: Most homeowners policies exclude faulty workmanship itself, but they often cover the resulting damage water intrusion, mold, or structural problems caused by defective construction. The line between excluded and covered is where most disputes happen.

Hidden Damage & Water Intrusion: Defective construction often allows moisture to seep behind walls and under flooring for years, leading to mold and rot. Insurers may try to invoke wear-and-tear or maintenance exclusions to deny these claims.
