Important coverage information
Eligibility: To be eligible, you must own the residential single structure and the land it’s on. You are not eligible if your home is a recreational vehicle, intended to be moved, or used for commercial purposes; you know of any current problems with your line at enrollment; your line was not installed per code; or your entire line is shared with a 3rd party or covered by an association.
Benefit Details: Coverage provides, up to the applicable benefit limit, to repair or replace the following for which you have sole responsibility, that has experienced an operational failure and is damaged due to normal wear and tear, not accident or negligence: the exterior water line from your utility’s responsibility or external wall of your well casing to the water meter or main shut-off valve inside your home. Repair or replacement of non-functioning stop boxes, shut-off valves, pressure reducing valves and backflow prevention devices is also covered. Reimbursement, up to the benefit amount, for water loss associated with the covered repair is also included. If it is discovered that your pipe is lead or galvanized during a covered repair, it will be replaced with a more appropriate material, rather than do a repair. Technicians must have safe access to the work area.
Not covered: Any tanks or appliances, lines that have failed a proactive inspection or test when no operational failure has occurred, branch lines, remediating or notifying you of mold or hazardous materials, any sections/parts not installed properly, repairs or replacement protected under other coverage, and damage from accidents, negligence or otherwise caused by you, others, wildlife or unusual circumstances (such as natural disasters). If costs on covered repairs exceed the benefit limit, you pay the difference. You will not be reimbursed for repairs performed by anyone not authorized by HomeServe. Additional exclusions apply. Disputes resolved by arbitration, without class action or jury trial, unless otherwise stated in your full Terms and Conditions.
