As a homeowner, you are likely responsible to pay for repairs to the exterior water and sewer lines that run from your house to your property boundary, which includes the tap/saddle connecting your line to the main. The Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) has recently identified that approximately 1 in 3 Detroit homes have misaligned sewer taps on the lines leading from their homes. Repair costs are often in the thousands. Lines can rupture or become clogged due to normal wear and tear, such as age, tree root intrusions, tap/saddle leaks, and ground shifts causing:
- Water leaks in your home or pooling in your yard
- Sewage backup in your home or pooling in your yard
- Water or sewage backup in your basement/crawlspace
- Low water pressure
Unexpected repairs can be both daunting and costly. Our Water & Sewer Line Plus Tap Protection Program protects you from these unexpected costs.
