Exterior Water Service Line Plan
As your home ages, so does the exterior water service line that brings fresh water to your house. If this line breaks or leaks due to ground shifting, pipe aging, corrosion or extreme temperatures, you could face an expensive repair bill.
There's no surefire way to prevent a water service line emergency — and basic homeowner’s insurance doesn’t typically cover damage due to normal wear and tear. Fortunately, with a plan from HomeServe, you can be prepared for when a covered water service line emergency happens and for the associated costs to fix it.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is water line protection?
It's a service program that goes beyond your typical basic homeowner’s insurance and provides repairs to a covered broken or leaking water pipe. Normal wear and tear, corrosion or even soil conditions can cause pipe problems that can lead to costly repairs.
-
What does water backup coverage cover?
One of the most common water line issues homeowners deal with is clogged water lines. These backed up lines can lead to bursts if left unchecked. Water backup insurance provides coverage for damage to your property caused by a clogged sewer line, failed sump pump or backed-up drains. It also typically covers mold damage to your home caused by water or sewer backup.

Is a service line typically covered by basic homeowners’ insurance?
Unfortunately, many homeowners believe they don’t have to worry about their water service lines, as it’s covered by their homeowner’s insurance. In reality, basic homeowners’ insurance typically doesn’t cover damage due to normal wear and tear.
