What does the Buried Utility Lines or Service Line endorsement cover? Many homeowners do not know that the repair or replacement of service lines on their property may be their responsibility—and that homeowner’s insurance policies typically do not cover damage to them. With Buried Utility Lines Coverage, the homeowner is covered when one of these lines leaks, breaks, tears, ruptures or collapses. Should a covered loss occur, coverage is available to pay for the damage to the utility line, excavation costs and expediting expenses to make repairs. This coverage typically does not include septic systems or on-site wells. Types of piping that would be covered include: - Water Piping - Sewer Piping - Cable Lines - Power Lines - Drain Piping - Fiber Optics Do I need Buried Utility Lines Coverage?
