Yes, Your homeowners insurance can be cancelled due to lack of home maintenance or required updates. Basically home insurers will have a minimum standard of acceptable condition when they insure the home. If the roof does not meet the minimum requirements of the program being offered, then the company may cancel the policy. This is usually done in the first 60 days of policy issuance or effective date.
Homes that are not adequately maintained and updated are considered to be at significantly higher risk for a loss.

Does homeowners insurance cover a bad slab?
What is bad? Insurance coverage is based on cause or reason. In order to properly answer the question one would need to know why the slab is bad. Why? If a big rig truck ran off the road and into the side of the house and damaged the slab this would be a covered claim. Your homeowners insurance covers claims where a vehicle strikes the house. Did ground water flooding damage the slab? If so you would need flood insurance. No homeowners covers flood. Flood is flood and is insurance offered by FEMA. You don't get flood coverage under homeowners policies. Is the slab bad because the work done to build it was poor? There is no coverage to repair the slab but if the slab being bad caused ensuing damage there may be coverage for ensuing damage.

Will your homeowners policy cover the cost of a new roof The last owners had roof recovered in 1995 and the shingles are starting to curl up and look bad?
No, insurance will not cover a roof, but if you purchased the home with any kind of warranty you might be able to get some help there. If shingles go bad that fast it's probably because of improper air circulation in the attic. If the attic gets much hotter than the outside air it will cause the shingles to curl and loose their mineral surface. Next time the roof is replaced, make sure you have the roofer put in some attic vents to keep the temperature down.

Will homeowners insurance cover a well pump that is bad?
Not likely. Most insurers would consider a well pump to be a homeowners maintenance issue. Well pumps require replacement form time to time. they are a mechanical device and they just break down and die after a period of time depending on usage and ground and well condition's. It's no different from needing to do occasional mechanical repairs on your automobile. A warranty might help you if it's still in force but your auto insurance would not pay for mechanical breakdown. Likewise your homeowners insurance policy does not provide for maintenance costs of your home.
