Overview
Overview
As a home ages, so do the exterior water service and sewer/septic lines. Leaks and breaks are usually caused by aging, corrosion, extreme temperatures, or settling or shifting of the ground. Because these lines are buried underground on your property and not typically inspected, a failure is almost impossible to predict. If these lines fail, replacement can cost thousands of dollars.
Most basic homeowners insurance doesn't cover repairs to the exterior water service line or sewer/septic line on your property damaged due to normal wear and tear. Be prepared with affordable Premier Exterior Line Coverage. Eligible homeowners can receive an unlimited annual benefit with multiple service calls for each line, up to $7,000 of benefit amount per call. This plan also provides additional landscape restoration up to $1,000 per covered repair. -
