But, if your house has minor foundation damage, but not condemned, the sinkhole insurance will cover the damage.
the question I have is you pay the first 10% of the value of the home,so let’s say the house is valued at 400 thousand you pay the first 40 thousand. I would think with that much damage the home would be condemned. Am I correct with my thinking.
