Service Line Coverage Endorsement
Service Line Coverage provides for the repair or replacement of underground systems that service the household, such as sewer lines, plumbing, electricity, natural gas, as well as telecommunications and internet access. Service line coverage also includes the cost to replace landscaping, concrete work, and anything necessary to access the underground systems and restore the property to its pre-loss condition. Most carriers usually offer coverage limits of $10,000 or $15,000. Some carriers may even offer higher coverage limits.
