Everything You Need to Know About Water Lines

As homeowners, we often prioritize the aesthetics and functionality of our homes, investing time and resources into maintaining a comfortable living space. However, there’s one critical area of the home that often goes unnoticed until disaster strikes — the water service line. Your water service line is outdoors and underground, and it is the lifeline of your home, supplying an essential resource you use daily. To ensure that this line continues to allow water to flow as expected, consider signing up for water line protection through reputable service providers like American Water Resources.

Hidden threats to water service lines

Water service lines face various threats, many of which are hidden from plain sight. These threats can result in burst pipes, damage from tree roots, leaking pipes, corrosion, and even normal wear and tear to the line that occurs over time (water line damage caused by natural disasters is not included in our coverage). Each of these issues can lead to significant damage, not only compromising the functionality of your home but also causing financial strain when a repair is needed.

Burst pipes

A burst water pipe is a nightmare scenario for any homeowner. It could result from a variety of conditions, including freezing temperatures, high water pressure, and aging pipes. The aftermath of a burst pipe can include extensive water damage to your property, leading to costly repairs. With water line protection, you can rest easy knowing that many unforeseen disasters are covered, offering you peace of mind.

Tree root damage

Trees, while beautiful, can pose a threat to your water service line. Over time, tree roots can infiltrate pipes, causing blockages and potential leaks. American Water Resources’ home warranty coverage includes damage caused by tree roots, ensuring that your water service line is shielded from this silent menace.

Leaking pipes

A leaking pipe may start as a minor inconvenience, but if left unaddressed, it can escalate into a major issue. Water service line protection covers the costs associated with detecting and repairing leaks, preventing further damage to your property, and preserving your home’s structural integrity.

Corrosion

Pipe corrosion is a natural process that occurs over time, especially in older homes with aging infrastructures. Corrosion weakens pipes, making them more susceptible to leaks and bursts. With its coverage, American Water Resources addresses issues stemming from pipe corrosion, safeguarding your home from potential water-related disasters.

Normal wear and tear

As with any system, water service lines undergo normal wear and tear over time. Regular usage can lead to deterioration, making it essential to have protection in place. American Water Resources recognizes the impact of wear and tear on your water service line, providing coverage for repair and replacement.
