Water Service Line Warranty Program

Don’t get caught by surprise with unexpected water service line repair costs

The cost to make repairs to homeowners’ water service line can be costly. Most homeowners are unaware the connection from the water distribution main to the meter outside homes/offices are owned and maintained by individual property owners.
To protect yourself BEFORE an unfortunate situation occurs, we’ve formed a partnership with Service Line Warranties of America (SLWA) to offer our customers coverage via a warranty program. Their warranty program can cover the cost of expensive service line repairs.
