HomeServe to Provide WSSC Customers Home Repair Service Plans

-

Laurel, MD – July 26, 2016 – (RealEstateRama) — WSSC today announced that HomeServe USA (HomeServe) will offer its customers home pipe repair service plans. The 450,000 WSSC residential customers in Prince George’s and Montgomery counties will be offered optional water service line repair plans, as well as sewer line and in-home plumbing plans through HomeServe.

Service plans available through HomeServe provide homeowners with an affordable, cost-effective way to manage the unexpected expense and inconvenience of home pipe repair emergencies. Homeowners are often unaware that such repairs are not covered by basic homeowner’s insurance policies or by the local utility and usually have to take on the burden of repair costs themselves.

“We know all too well that repairing or replacing pipes is a costly proposition,” said Carla A. Reid, General Manager and CEO of WSSC. “Many customers are dealing with the same aging infrastructure that we as a utility are in the process of maintaining or replacing. HomeServe’s repair plans will provide peace of mind to those customers who face potentially costly repairs to the pipes on their property.”

“Many homeowners are unfamiliar with the fact that they are responsible for the water and sewer lines on their property” said Tom Rusin, CEO of HomeServe USA. “The financial impact that comes with these repairs can be an unexpected blow, with homeowners often unprepared and blindsided by them. We are pleased to associate with WSSC to provide their customers with affordable, dependable coverage plans.”

As part of their agreement with WSSC, HomeServe will be setting aside funds to help pay for repairs and other assistance for low-income homeowners in Prince George’s and Montgomery counties.

HomeServe plan holders will have access to a Repair Hotline that is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year as well as local, licensed, and insured contractors available to provide high-quality home repair services to customers in a timely manner. The Water Service Line Coverage is available now to WSSC residents for $3.99/month. HomeServe will also offer Sewer/Septic Line coverage for $5.49/month and Interior Plumbing and Drainage System Coverage for $9.99/month. HomeServe offers several payment options.

WSSC customers can learn more about HomeServe’s plans by calling toll-free at 1-844-713-7208 or visitingwww.HomeServeUSA.com.
