Why You Need Protection
- Your pipes are a ticking time bomb – age, corrosion, and roots can create leaks or sewage spills.
- They’re your responsibility – not the city’s.
- Home insurance typically doesn’t cover exterior pipes.
- Replacement costs average $5,000, but can be $20,000 or more.
- Finding a contractor is expensive, time-consuming and frustrating.
What Causes Water & Sewer Line Damage?
Tree Roots
Roots are relentless, seeking out moisture and invading your water and sewer lines, turning small cracks into huge problems.
Old Pipes
Over time, the materials that make up your water and sewer lines become brittle and break, causing catastrophic failures when you least expect it.
Clogs & Blockages
Build-up from non-flushable items, grease, and food particles can prevent wastewater from flowing freely, leading to backups and a messy disaster.
Ground Shifting & Settling
Natural ground movement can put stress on your utility lines, leading to cracks and breaks that will flood your home with problems.
Rodent Infestations
Rodents or other pests burrow into your plumbing system, chewing through pipes and causing cracks or bursts that devastate your home with costly repairs.
Weather Conditions
Extreme weather conditions can cause water to expand within the pipes, leading to bursts. Excessive rainfall can saturate the ground, putting additional pressure on the pipes until they break.

“Buying our first home, a rehabbed 100+ year-old farmhouse, drained our savings. Despite new systems, bubbling toilets revealed a corroded, century-old lead sewer line. It cost $19,500 to replace, which was an expensive lesson on hidden homeownership issues.”
Molly O’ConnorDurham, NC
“Our house had standing water in the basement for weeks, which turned out to be sewage from our neighbors. After biohazard remediation and hiring a plumber to replace the pipe, the total cost was about $28,000 which we were not at all expecting.”
Lauren ProsserRaleigh, NC
“After buying my home, a sewer backup caused gurgling noises. I discovered my insurance didn’t cover plumbing issues. A local plumber used a scope to reveal tree roots in the rusted pipes. Replacing the sewage line cost $10,000 and took a frustrating seven days.”
Kyle PattersonRaleigh, NC
“The water started welling up in my bathroom, and I quickly realized my sewer line was damaged. I called Guardian Service, and they sent a plumber out to assess and resolve the issue that same day. They also send me a honey-baked ham for Thanksgiving. Phenomenal service.”

What does our Sewer Line warranty plan cover?
Our sewer line warranty includes coverage for the repair or replacement of damaged, leaking, or clogged sewer lines that run from your home to the main sewer connection. This protection covers issues caused by normal usage, tree roots, ground movements, and corrosion. The warranty also includes the cost of locating blockages, repairing the sewer line, and restoring the excavation site. However, it excludes pre-existing conditions, damage from misuse or neglect, and lines that do not meet local building codes. Coverage specifics can vary by customer and state, so it's important to review the details of our terms and conditions to understand exactly what is included. The sewer line warranty plan features a $0 deductible, on-demand emergency service, and a $4,000 coverage limit.
