SLWA Program Expands Utility Line Repair Protection to 218 Communities in 32 States

Service Line Warranties of America (SLWA) is launching a repair program across 218 communities in 32 states, offering homeowners access to voluntary service line repair plans. These plans cover emergency repairs to water and sewer service lines connecting homes to public utilities, addressing a common gap in standard homeowners insurance. The program provides homeowners 24/7 access to a dedicated hotline and dispatches local contractors to handle covered repairs without deductibles or reimbursement hassles, ensuring seamless service and compliance with local codes. Utility service lines are homeowner responsibility, and damage such as blocked sewer lines or broken water pipes can result in significant unanticipated expenses. SLWA’s partnership model with municipalities facilitates the outreach and enrollment of homeowners into these programs, promoting awareness and preparation against costly emergency repairs. Homeowners are encouraged to review their existing insurance coverage to assess gaps and consider SLWA’s repair plans to mitigate risks associated with service line failures. SLWA operates as a division of HomeServe, a company serving over 4.5 million homeowners in North America with various home repair protection plans since 2003. The initiative aims to streamline emergency repair processes, reducing stress and financial exposure related to utility service line failures, which are typically excluded from standard homeowners insurance policies.
