And with homeowners&#8217; insurance, you can rest assured that your property remains safe in the event of an emergency.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Is It Covered?<\/h2>\r\n<p>So,\u00a0is sewer line repair covered by your homeowners&#8217; insurance? A broken sewer system certainly causes a lot of damage to the home since a burst pipe could destroy flooring, walls, and even personal belongings. And though homeowners&#8217; insurance covers various other at-home emergencies, it doesn&#8217;t cover a damaged sewer line. How can this be? Typically, homeowners&#8217; insurance doesn&#8217;t consider your sewer line a part of your home, even though it is a part of your property.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Pro Tip<\/h3>\r\n<p>Sometimes, homeowners&#8217; insurance will cover part of the repair costs for a damaged sewer line. However, you will have to pay extra to get this coverage, as it&#8217;s often a rider on your homeowners&#8217; insurance. For instance, your insurance should cover some of the costs if you insure other structures on your property and something goes wrong with the sewer line.<\/p>\r\n<h2>What Coverage Do I Need?<\/h2>\r\n<p>If you&#8217;re buying an older home and have concerns about the risks associated with this decision, you can buy sewer line insurance. Noting the age of your home is important because, as a house ages, various things can go wrong. The building materials used back in the day aren&#8217;t the same as what we use now. Of course, regardless of the age of your house, things can go wrong with your sewer line.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Tips To Avoid a Sewer Line Problem<\/h2>\r\n<p>Preventing a septic problem is ideal to avoid this situation altogether. Some of the easiest ways you can prevent this at-home emergency are to:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Call a repair company as soon as you notice a problem.<\/li>\r\n<li>Avoid flushing non-disposable items down the toilet.<\/li>\r\n<li>Make sure landscaping doesn&#8217;t interfere with pipelines.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Sometimes, avoiding this issue is impossible, especially in older homes where piping may not be up to date with modern technology. But by working to avoid a clogged sewer line, you prevent the damage your home may otherwise face.<\/p>\r\n<p>Your standard homeowners&#8217; insurance won&#8217;t cover the costs of repairing a sewer line. Paying the extra money to have your sewer line covered is worth it because repairs are expensive in the event of an emergency.<\/p>\r\n<p>Even if you have insurance, you should work to prevent this problem and consult an expert as soon as you notice an issue.
