Overview
It's hard to know when things will go wrong with the pipes hidden behind your walls and the service line buried in your yard. Repairs or replacement of these systems can be expensive and are not typically covered by basic homeowners insurance. That's why we recommend Water Service Line Plus Coverage.
This affordable coverage provides financial protection against covered breakdowns in your exterior water service line and your home's plumbing system caused by normal wear and tear, including age, corrosion, extreme temperatures and settling or shifting of the ground.
