Service Line Warranties of America

The City of Belle Plaine has partnered with Service Line Warranties of America (SLWA) to educate residents about service line responsibilities and introduce optional protection to residents for the water and sewer service lines that connect their homes to the utility systems. Many residents do not know that repairs to the service lines on their property is their responsibility to repair. In the event of a service line repair emergency, the resident is responsible for obtaining a contractor and covering the associated cost for any repairs. As homes age in our community along with the infrastructure serving them, repair plans from SLWA provide residents with an optional solution so they can be prepared when this type of repair occurs.”

The SLWA Program helps protect against repairs needed to utility pipes on homeowners’ property. Repairs to these pipes are not covered by The City of Bele Plaine, and a basic homeowners insurance policy may or may not cover normal wear-and-tear repairs to these pipes. If a participating resident’s service line needs to be repaired, a simple call to the SLWA 24-hour hotline is all that’s needed to schedule a repair with a local, licensed and insured contractor familiar with local code. There are no service fees or deductibles on covered repairs, and the repair is guaranteed for one year.

                This program is completely voluntary for our residents. Service plans from SLWA not only help cover the cost of the repair; they also provide homeowners with reputable, local contractors who will do the best possible job,” said Tom Rusin, CEO of SLWA parent HomeServe. “We’re pleased to be working with The City of Belle Plaine and look forward to the opportunity to provide Belle Plaine homeowners with the assistance they need when faced with a home repair emergency.”
