Anyone have it for insurance on repairs for the home? I have it thru gas co. On everything, have plug up sewer pipe now an wait for plumber to call, I went thru automated system at toll no to call. Is homeserve any good? I never used it yet

I can't speak for one company or another

but about 100% of them make their money figuring out how to take yours and not pay out when you need something or make it take a long time to be as cheap as possible.

wife's first job out of school was a home warranty company , the tactics were just dishonest , she tried to help people find help, just to find vendor after vendor were not getting paid out so no help was coming.

or try and figure out how it was a maintenance issue or any way not to pay out the claim.

when here 2nd or 3rd pay check bounced I said quit just be done

I had trouble before with sewer line, hopefully not collapse, when I sign up for ins, it was to good to be true that they would even cover replace line, hard to believe as cost thousands

Kind of like the auto repair insurance read the fine print

Ridiculous, they call 2 plumbers at long distance an plumbers say to far, now supposed be looking locally or hopefully

What was the problem last time? Maybe the same thing now.

Tree roots an likely same trouble

Hope you get it fixed without too much hassle, Dave!

I just filed a $5200 claim to State Farm after backing into a utility pole. It didn't give.

Supposed come tomorrow, I am cover up $2500, hope not line collapse

They roto rooter the sewer pipe an got big wad of roots just once they got roots, amazing how they can block a pipe, they ran water thru the pipe an it didn't back up an just ran out

I would remove any offending trees immediately.

I think the roots still grow long time, big shade tree

I think Copper Sulfate crystals are still used to help keep tree roots out.

The solution to the problem is that the sewer line needs replaced. Old sewer lines with multiple joints are bound to shift over a period of years along with the break down of the pipe itself like the old Orange Burg composite which crumbles in time allowing roots to enter. There is no stopping roots from seeking water - and cutting a good tree down is the last thing that should be done. Dave didn't you have this same problem before?

Yes the plumber say it Might be Orangeburg pipe, whatever that is, I had trouble with it before that cost way over a $1000, I have used copper sulfate about once every 2 months, probly don't work

You're just wasting your money dumping chemicals down your drain. Do it right - replace the pipe - and be done with it.
