Stamford, CT –Biddeford & Saco Water Company's 14,500 residential customers will soon have the opportunity to purchase a new array of enhanced home repair plans through HomeServe USA (HomeServe). A leading provider of home repair service programs, HomeServe offers plans that protect homeowners from the cost and inconvenience of repairs that are not covered by basic home insurance or by their local utility.

The affordable plumbing protection plans available include the following coverage:

Exterior Water Service Line - protects customers from high repair costs of an exterior water line break or leak – including locating, excavating and repairing or replacing the water pipe;
Sewer/Septic Line - covers unblocking the exterior sewer line or all work to repair or replace a collapsed section of sewer pipe as needed;
Interior Plumbing and Drainage - covers homeowners from the cost of repairing or replacing leaking interior plumbing or drainage piping and unblocking sinks or toilets.

“When homeowners face an emergency, the last things they want to worry about are finding a reputable repair person and unexpected repair costs,” said Tom Rusin, Chief Executive Officer, HomeServe USA. “HomeServe plans will provide customers of Biddeford & Saco Water Company with the reassurance of knowing that if they experience a problem with any of their covered equipment, they will not be financially liable or responsible for finding someone to make repairs.”

Customers holding these plumbing plans through HomeServe will have access to an Emergency Repair Hotline that is accessible 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to bring local, licensed and insured contractors right to their home for repairs.

Similar services are already being offered by HomeServe to customers of the Portland Water District.
