All homeowners should be aware that not all homeowners’ insurance policies will cover costs incurred with sewer backing up in their home. A standard homeowner’s policy does not include coverage for water and sewer backup. If your service line should become plugged and sewer backs up in you home, it could do several thousand dollars worth of damage.

Please check your policy or check with your agent to be sure you are covered if a mishap should occur.  Most insurance companies do offer just a water and sewer backup coverage by itself. To help alleviate the chance of a backup occurring, the district has an annual sewer cleaning program in place where we clean a third of the district lines every year. We are only responsible for our main line, not your service line.
