Prior FedNat Benefits
Service Line
Service line coverage is a special coverage that isn’t offered by very many home policies. This optional coverage provides up to 10,000 in coverage (You are responsible for your deductible.) for underground utility lines that you’re responsible for.
This provides coverage for the cost to repair or replace the service line, extra cost to make temporary repairs, and additional living expenses or rental costs. These repairs can become very costly when a backhoe or other heavy machinery is needed for the work.
This service line coverage includes damage for wear & tear, rust, corrosion, decay, deterioration, hidden defects, freezing, and collapse (excluding sinkhole or subsidence.) As you can see in your policy, these perils are almost all exclusions in your standard home policy. Ask your agent for more info on this coverage.
Equipment Breakdown
Equipment Breakdown coverage covers systems and appliances against mechanical, electrical or pressure system breakdowns. This is for sudden failure, not wear and tear. Things like your air conditioner, electrical panels, TVs, pool pumps, and more are covered under this optional coverage. Ask your agent for more details on this coverage.
