COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Your home has several service lines running into it that include power lines, sewer and water pipes, and contrary to popular belief, utility companies are not always responsible for damage to the service lines that run into your home. If these are damaged or break, the homeowner might be responsible for the repair. A standard homeowners policy does not cover the service lines running into the home—unless you've added service line coverage. 

Key Points: 
  • A standard homeowners policy does not cover the service lines running into the home—unless you've added service line coverage.
  • The big picture: 32% of homeowners have the misconception that service line coverage is included in their base homeowners policy—findings from the latest Agency Forward survey from Nationwide shows this.
  • 28% say they have service line coverage, which is higher than the 8% of Nationwide homeowners policies that have added this coverage.
  • Only 50% of homeowners are aware that service line coverage can be purchased through homeowners insurance.
