Overview
Your sewer/septic line may weaken and break over time due to damage caused by normal wear and tear, including aging and ground shifting. Because this line is buried underground on your property and not typically inspected, a failure is almost impossible to predict. Without this optional coverage you may be faced with thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket expenses if a breakdown occurs and replacement is needed.
With an affordable plan from HomeServe, eligible homeowners can avoid paying for the costs of covered repairs to the line that takes wastewater away from their home. Help get protection from time-consuming and expensive repair costs with Exterior Sewer/Septic Line Plus Restoration, which includes an unlimited annual benefit with multiple service calls, up to $10,000 per call for covered repairs. Take action to enhance your protection and get up to $1,000 per covered sewer/septic line repair to restore your property after a sewer/septic line repair. -
