The homeowner's insurance would cover the claim up to policy limits. So you would have to make sure that you were not suing for more than their policy coverage otherwise for any additional amount over they would be personally liable.
Also, if they were on notice of the condition or under some government mandate to correct the situation and did not do so, the insurance company could reject the claim and decline to pay.
