If this line breaks or leaks due to ground shifting, pipe aging, corrosion or extreme temperatures, you could be faced with an expensive repair bill. There's no way to prevent a water service line emergency.

Help get protection from the high cost of covered repairs with a home service repair plan from HomeServe, which includes unlimited annual benefit amount with multiple service calls up to $10,000 each for covered repairs. -
