OPINION

BAKER, Judge.

Appellant-plaintiff Carol Schultz appeals the grant of summary judgment in favor of appellee-defendant Erie Insurance Group ("Erie"). 1 She contends that the term "faulty workmanship" in her insurance policy is ambiguous and, therefore, her claims should go before a jury. Schultz also maintains that, even if the term is unambiguous, some of her damages resulted from sources other than "faulty workmanship" and are covered by her insurance policy. Finally, Schultz argues that Erie failed to show that "another excluded peril" contributed to her loss.
