My *electric* company Dominion offers water line insurance for
$4.95/mo. which supposedly covers water line repairs from the main to
the house. My house was built in 1967. I plan on being there for
another 2-3 years so I subscribed for the insurance, not wanting any
more major expenses on this house before I sell it. My mother had to
have her water line repaired for a 1980 house the year before she sold
it and that cost her around $3500.
Tell me why this was a good idea or a bad idea...
I would check with your state and/or city ordinance. The water line
running to the house is usually the responsibility of the water company.
Anything within the house is the home owner.
I've been offered similar insurance for water and sewer. I never bite.
Any place I have ever lived the water company is only responsible to the
shutoff valve at the curb. The line from the curb to the house is the
homeowner responsibilty.
You better pray your sewer line nevers fails. Expensive and ugly messy to
fix.
