Does insurance cover a water main replacement?

Most standard homeowners' policies don’t cover water main line replacement costs because this project is considered wear and tear, not sudden damage. Check your declarations page for exclusions and talk with your agent about add-on service-line coverage if you want help footing the bill for your water main line replacement costs.

Do I need to hire a professional to replace my main water line?

Yes—hire a licensed plumber any time the job taps into a city-owned line or local codes. Professional plumbers carry the right permits, tools, and insurance, and they know how to avoid costly mistakes that could flood your yard or trigger fines. Pros can also provide expert recommendations on the type of system and materials that will work best for your situation, and they can guide you on best practices for ongoing maintenance.

A family owned business over 10 years of experience, I've done and loved all aspects of this job. We value intigrity and take pride in the attention to detail put into each of the projects we're involved with. We look forward to building long-term relationships with our clients.

"Optimal Sewer & Drain, LLC performed a hydro cleaning on my sewer line. They did a very thorough and professional job. The nature of the project changed as the discovery of a septic system, unknown to me, presented a big challenge for their equipment and to me as the homeowner trying to sell the property. Denzyl, the owner, was very kind and patient with me as I tried to understand the implications of their findings. We had to get another company involved and Denzyl went above and beyond to ensure smooth communication and full understanding of the issues was relayed. He and his crewman Dan demonstrated the highest levels of integrity and honesty in their dealings with me and I found it very easy to trust them. They helped turn a stressful situation for me, into a pleasurable one. They gave me a video of the cleared sewer line and cleaned up the crawlspace and worksite before they left. I would highly recommend this company."
