Soil and ground conditions can have an effect on exterior water service pipes—if the ground settles enough,
the pipe can break. Temperature fluctuations in any type of climate may lead to cracks and pipe failure.
Pipe age can also be a contributing factor combined with the use of materials that may be as old as your home.
Environmental factors like surrounding soil properties can cause potential corrosivity that may result in
a pipe fracture.
Physical characteristics of pipes may cause failure: Inadequate installation, joint connection failure, pipe wall
thickness that can degrade over time due to corrosion or high water pressure.

Exterior water pipe conditions
Response Requested
OWNERSHIP RESPONSIBILITY – The exterior water service line on your property belongs to you. Although <<Partner_
Name>> is your utility provider, the cost of repairing or replacing the line is your responsibility and comes out of your household
budget. If the line breaks down, it is up to you to find a technician.
REPLACEMENT COSTS – Many factors may compromise lines: Pipe age, pipe material, pipe corrosion, ground shifting and
normal wear and tear. Your line could be buried between 1.9 and 8 feet deep†
, depending on the region of the country, and is unlikely
to be inspected. A breakdown can happen to any line. The average cost of replacing a water line is $2,661.*
Water lines damaged from
normal wear and tear are not typically covered by basic homeowners insurance.
PROTECTION INFORMATION – <<Partner_Name>> wants to help you avoid paying thousands out of pocket if your line needs
to be replaced, and has selected HomeServe to offer eligible homeowners optional <<Product_Name>>. For just $X.XX per month,
you get access to HomeServe’s network of contractors to promptly repair or replace your water line in the event of failure, with up to
$X,XXX <<annually with multiple service calls/per service call with multiple calls annually>> (30-day waiting period includes a money-
back guarantee) for covered repairs. Coverage includes repairing your line and, if necessary, excavation fees. Protection covers all types of
pipe materials.
†
The nationwide average for pipe depth is 5 feet.

Frequently Asked Questions And Answers
What am I responsible for?
As a homeowner, you are responsible for the exterior water service line
on your property.
Does my homeowners insurance cover this?
Most basic homeowners insurance policies do not cover repair or
replacement due to normal wear and tear of the exterior water service line.
Who is eligible for coverage?
An owner of both a residential home permanently secured to the
ground and the land it is located on may be eligible for coverage.
Recreational vehicles or homes on wheels and properties used for
commercial purposes are not eligible for coverage. Your property is
not eligible if you are aware of any pre-existing conditions, defects or
deficiencies with your exterior water service line prior to enrollment.
If you live in a development community with a condominium,
co-op or homeowners association, your exterior water service line may not
be an individual homeowner’s responsibility, so please check with your
association before accepting this coverage.
What should I know about this coverage?
What’s covered: Coverage provides, up to the benefit amount, for the
covered cost to repair or replace a leaking, low pressure or permanently
blocked exterior water service line, for which you have sole responsibility,
from your property boundary or external wall of your well casing to the
external wall of your home, that is damaged due to normal wear and tear,
not accident or negligence.
Not covered: Repair to any water line that branches off the main water
service line, thawing of frozen pipes, and damage from accidents,
negligence or otherwise caused by you, others or unusual circumstances.
Additional exclusions apply. To see full Terms and Conditions
with complete coverage and exclusion details prior to enrolling call
1-XXX-XXX-XXXX or go to www.website.com.
When can I make a service call?
Your plan starts the day your form is processed, and there is an initial
30-day waiting period before you can make a service call, giving you 11
months of coverage during the first year. Upon renewal/reactivation (if
applicable), you will not be subject to a waiting period.
What is the cancellation policy?
You may cancel within 30 days of your start date for a full refund (or less
any claims paid if cancelled at any time after renewal/reactivation, where
applicable). Cancellations after the first 30 days will be effective at the
end of the then-current billing month, and you will be entitled to a pro-
rata refund less any claims paid (where applicable). You may also contact
HomeServe to cancel if you find your utility or municipality provides
similar coverage to you at no charge, and you will receive a refund less
any claims paid (where applicable).
What is the term of my service agreement?
Your coverage is based on an annual contract and is billed on a monthly
basisthroughyourutilitybill.Yourserviceagreementwillbeautomatically
renewed annually at the then-current renewal price.
What quality of repair can I expect?
Local, licensed and insured plumbers perform covered repairs, which are
guaranteed against defects in materials and workmanship for one year.
Who is HomeServe?
HomeServe is an independent company, separate from Louisville Water
Company, providing emergency home repair services and protection
solutions to homeowners across the U.S. If you would prefer not to receive
solicitations from HomeServe, please call 1-XXX-XXX-XXXX.
The illustration shows the exterior water service
line that is your responsibility as a homeowner.
Also shown are repairs that are commonly
performed on this line and how much a licensed
and insured contractor would typically charge a
homeowner for repairs.
Give yourself less to worry about with <<Product_
Name_xxxxxxxxxxxxx>> from HomeServe.
You’ll benefit from a priority response and no
bill to pay for covered repairs, up to $X,XXX per
<<year/service call>>.
<<The service line beyond the [property boundary]
may be an additional responsibility of the homeowner,
but it is not included in this coverage.>>
