Does homeowner's insurance cover a brick porch that is crumbling due to either the weather or poor construction?

Generally no, unless it is due to a SUDDEN and ACCIDENTAL event such as a tree falling against your house.
Cracks in brick & mortar are generally due to normal & gradual settlement and are not covered. They can also indicate foundation problems (also not usually covered unless due to a Plumbing leak)

∙ 9y agoIt just depends on why the wall is falling.
Look to your homeowners insurance policy for covered perils,, Fire, Wind, Hail, Lightning, Ground Movement etc. Poor workmanship is not covered under a home insurance policy.
Best to contact your insurance agent for advise. If the wall is damaged due to ground movement you might have coverage for it ( some policies do ) but it depends on the type of policy you bought.

Weather doesn't matter. Your HomeOwners Insurance would be responsible for those damages.

Lowering The Cost Of Homeowners Insurance?
Homeowners insurance can be a delicate topic. It is one of the more expensive forms of personal insurance. One of the few ways that you may be able to save money on your homeowners insurance, other than shopping around for a better rate, would be to remove unnecessary coverage. Of course, this means you would have to remove coverage for some events that you think may be very unlikely. It is a risk you may want to take in order to save money every month. Removing insurance for weather damage that is nearly impossible in your climate would be a first step. Another option may be to remove insurance for theft and instead invest in a low cost home security system. Homeowners insurance is by no means inexpensive. Thinning down your policy is one way to help reduce that cost.
