MITIGATE RISK OF WATER AND SEWER DAMAGE WITH WHOLE HOME WARRANTY COVERAGE

Many homeowners are unaware they are responsible for all the water and sewer lines beneath their property. Without proper coverage, these systems can lead to unexpected and costly repairs. This blog post will highlight the importance of a comprehensive water and sewer line warranty, how it can save you money, and why it is a crucial investment for every homeowner.

Why You Need a Water and Sewer Line Warranty

Water and sewer lines are integral to the functionality of your home, but they are often overlooked until a problem arises. Here are some key reasons why a water and sewer line warranty is essential:

  1. Unexpected Leaks and Breaks: Pipes can deteriorate over time due to age, ground shifts, or invasive tree roots, leading to leaks or complete breaks. These issues can cause significant damage and disrupt your daily life.

  2. High Repair Costs: Repairing or replacing water and sewer lines can be expensive. Minor leaks might cost between $150 and $350, while repairing or replacing a section of pipe can range from $1,000 to $3,000. Full sewer line repairs or replacements can soar to $7,500.

  3. Homeowners' Responsibility: You are responsible for the water and sewer lines running from the public connection to your property. Many people are unaware of this responsibility until faced with a repair bill.

  4. Not Covered by Homeowners' Insurance: Standard homeowners' insurance policies typically do not cover water and sewer line repairs, leaving you vulnerable to out-of-pocket expenses.
