Who Is Responsible for Fixing My Sewer Line? Will My Homeowners Insurance Cover It?

Homeowners are typically responsible for all maintenance and repairs for sewer lines from the connection at the street into their homes. Unfortunately, your homeowners' insurance won’t cover most types of damage to your sewer lines or any other service lines unless you’ve added coverage specifically for your sewer lines. Whether your homeowners' insurance will cover fixing your sewer line depends on where the damage occurred and the type of damage the line sustained. Standard homeowners insurance policies will only cover accidental and sudden damage to the pipes and other systems within your property but don’t always extend to the service lines that are on your property but run outside your home.

What’s the Difference Between Pipe Lining, Slip Lining, and Pipe Bursting?

Pipe bursting is a trenchless pipe repair method that breaks and expands an existing pipe and replaces it with a new one simultaneously. Your plumber pulls a bursting head or pipe through the old pipe then it breaks the existing pipe as it drags and lays the new pipe. Pipelining or slip lining is a trenchless pipe repair method that installs an epoxy liner into a damaged pipe. Your plumber inserts a liner into an existing pipe, then applies heat to expand and cure the new pipe into place.
