The new Service Line Underground Utility Coverage is now available and you can add it to your Landlord Rental Property Insurance policy for as low as $25 a year
Without this endorsement a common claim that happens is when an underground pipe collapses due to tree root root intrusion or wear and tear
The resulting damage such as water back up (if you have this endorsement) is covered but replacement of the pipe itself is not covered and excavation costs are also excluded
Now you can get coverage to pay for pipe replacement, excavation costs and outdoor property that is damaged as a result
This coverage is available on home insurance and landlord rental property policies from a select group of insurance companies
Not all insurance companies offer this endorsement
The endorsement will provide coverage up to 10,000 of damage
What is the average cost of these claims without the endorsement?
The average cost to repair these sewer lines including excavation can average $7500
What is the deductible?
The coverage will be subject to a $500 deductible which more than likely will be less than your all other perils deductible
