Did you know? Only 37% of customers are confident that they could come up with $500 for an unexpected repair, according to J.D. Power’s Home Improvement Pulse Study.

Unfortunately, your sewer line could clog or your water line could break when you least expect it. And when it happens, you could not only be left scrambling to find a trusted professional, but will be out thousands of dollars for the repair.

This nightmare doesn't have to be your reality with a water and sewer service line protection plan from American Water Resources.

What is a service line warranty plan and why do I need one?

A service line warranty plan picks up the slack where most standard homeowners insurance policies or other “whole home” warranties fall short.

A standard homeowners’ policy will typically only cover things like damage from a break-in, or from a natural disaster or fire. More often than not, these policies do not cover any issues with the service lines going to or from the property – which is the responsibility of the homeowner.

When a problem occurs, the enrolled customer just has to get in touch with the service line warranty plan provider, such as American Water Resources, and the provider will dispatch a trusted, skilled, and experienced professional to diagnose and take care of the problem.

How much does a service line warranty plan cost?

The cost of a warranty plan will depend on a variety of factors, including what’s being covered. Regardless of which plan(s) you may be considering for your family’s home, it’s important to understand that it’s more cost-effective to pay a small fee each month to have protection coverage versus shelling out thousands of dollars for the repair of a service line.

Plus the peace of mind knowing your home is protected is worth its weight in gold!
