Exterior Sewer/Septic Line Repair Plan
Being a homeowner can be rewarding, but it also comes with its challenges. Being responsible for unexpected home repair issues, including problems with your exterior sewer and septic system, can be stressful and expensive.
That’s why we offer plans to help you with your sewer lines. Standard homeowner’s insurance typically isn’t always enough, as there are specific guidelines for what those policies cover. But with a HomeServe plan, you can purchase this coverage and not have to stress out when problems under your repair plan arise.

What Is an Exterior Sewer Septic Line Repair Plan?
Your sewer or 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 additional coverage, you could be faced with thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket expenses if a break occurs and replacement is needed. With exterior sewer and septic line coverage, homeowners can avoid paying for covered repairs to the line that carries wastewater away from their home. This protection covers various types of pipe material, regardless of how old it is.

The sewer and septic repair plan from HomeServe covers the following types of pipe issues:
