034: You Need Utility Line Insurance
b'
Has your sewer line ever broken?
\\n\\xa0
\\nLin\\u2019s question for me today is about utility line insurance.
\\n\\xa0
\\nMaybe you\\u2019ve got an older home and are worried about old gas lines or water lines.
\\n\\xa0
\\nIt costs about $1500-$3000 to replace an old gas line.
\\n\\xa0
\\nI\\u2019ve had to do it several times but haven\\u2019t paid for the repairs in some instances.
\\n\\xa0
\\nHow is this possible?
\\n\\xa0
\\nAbout 8 years ago I opened my monthly gas bill and noticed they sold insurance for utility lines.
\\n\\xa0
\\nSo I bought it and have saved over $10,000 in the process.\\xa0
\\n\\xa0
\\nThe company I use is called Columbia Service Partners.\\xa0
\\n\\xa0
\\nYou can call them to see if they cover homes in your area\\xa0

\\n888-442-7349
\\n\\xa0
\\nThis isn\\u2019t a scam and I don\\u2019t make any money from it. I\\u2019ve just learned my lesson as a homeowner that having a backup for disasters is smart.\\xa0
\\n\\xa0
\\n\\xa0
\\n\\xa0
\\nToday\\u2019s Quick Tip is about digging in your yard.
\\n\\xa0
\\nBefore you pickup a shovel call all the utility companies and have them mark their lines on your yard.
\\n\\xa0
\\nCall the water, gas, sewer, electric, cable, and phone companies.
\\n\\xa0
\\nSave yourself some grief and possible injury by doing this.\\xa0
\\n\\xa0
\\nGas lines, at least in our area, are only 18-20 inches deep. Which means a homeowner could totally dig into one without knowing.
