Protect what you love from what you don’t love: the unexpected

What if there was a fire?

A fire accidentally started in your secondary or seasonal home. You’re either not in town or it takes longer for firefighters to arrive. Good thing your insurance policy can help cover repairs.

What if something was damaged?

Unfortunately, these types of situations do happen, but your insurance policy can include coverage to repair the damage, so you don’t have to worry.

What if your vacation home was broken into?

Your personal belongings were damaged. Or worse, taken. Now what? Insurance can help cover those items, so they’re almost as good as new or new-new.

How to make service line insurance work for you

Did you know you’re responsible as a homeowner for all of the utility and service lines on your property? This includes everything from the watermain and electrical lines to sewer lines and cable and internet connections. 

These are not only important to the daily function of our homes and lives, but they can also be very costly to repair and replace if needed. A service line insurance policy can be a small and convenient addition, which can reduce stress should an unexpected event happen, like:

Excavation

Need your service lines excavated? Your insurance coverage can cover the cost to expose underground service lines that require repair.

Outdoor Property

Suffering from outdoor property damage from service line failure? Things such as trees, plants, shrubs, walkways and driveways can be covered.

Loss of Use

If you can’t stay at your property due to service line damage, your insurance policy may cover the cost of additional living expenses until your home is restored.

Cost of Repair

Over time, service lines can corrode, suffer damage from tree roots or plants, or even get crushed from equipment. A service line insurance policy can cover the extra cost to make temporary repairs. Phew!

FAQ

Is service line coverage included in my home insurance policy?
One thing you may not have known you were responsible for as a homeowner is all of the utility and service lines on your property. This includes the watermain, electrical lines, sewer lines, and cable and internet connections. 

Coverage for this important equipment on your property is often optional to include, or add to your home insurance policy.  

Our experienced Specialists are happy to help make things easier by helping you look critically at what your home insurance policy covers and adjusting your coverage to fill in the gaps where needed.

Loss of Use
