Answers to Your Questions

One of the top reasons homeowners tell us they aren’t sure they want to get a core test is because they’re afraid their insurance company will drop them or not renew their policy if it turns out they do have a bad foundation. If you find yourself in this group, we’re here to tell you that this is one thing you DO NOT need to worry about! 

The State of Connecticut Insurance Department has declared that:

• Insurance companies can not cancel or non-renew policies or increase the premium of policies solely because a house has a crumbling foundation.
• If you find out you do have a crumbling foundation but decide not to repair it, your insurance companies still can’t cancel your policy, increase your premiums, or add surcharges for this reason.
• Insurance companies can’t use information from a claim or any other source concerning a crumbling foundation inquiry or a claim to underwrite a policy, or when determining pricing or surcharging on new policies or renewals, for both homeowners and condo associations.
