\tSewer back up coverage protects Texas homeowners (and homeowners around the nation) against damages and losses resulting from a sewer backing up. In addition to sewers backing up, some homeowners have problems with downspouts and septic tanks too. Sewer back-up coverage is typically an optional part of the homeowners insurance policy, which is added as an endorsement to the policy.<\/p>\n
\tWhen sewers back up, they can seep through the drains in the home, causing flooding and extensive damage inside the house. Sewer back-up coverage covers property damage as well as the cleanup (floors, ductwork, flushing piping fixtures, disinfecting, spillage removal, etc.)<\/p>\n
\tCauses of sewer back up are many. Roots from shrubs and trees can make their way into cracks in sewer lines, causing blockages. Aging sewer systems are increasingly becoming a problem as the nation’s sewer systems continue to age. Frequent water basement flooding can be an indication of a problem. Another area of concern is when systems are designed to combine both storm water drainage and raw sewage drainage within the same pipeline. Even a blockage in the sanitary main can cause water to seep through the drains if not caught early enough.<\/p>\n
\tBut typically, regardless of the cause, sewer back-up coverage added to a Texas homeowners insurance policy will keep you protected from property damage and water damage due to a backed-up sewer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
