Sewer backups are covered unde most policies. Backups resulting from flood are usually not....but such cases are often argued

It seems that the garbage disposals installed by builders are well......garbage

It would also seem that such many homes are, subjected to the bad habits o sub contractors resulting in blocked line, that they would have a procedure to check such issues before placing the home in the hands of a homeowner.

yepper. thanks...I'm reading the fine print. If the house floods from sewage, you are in deep s&*t for coverage...additionally my former policy had a rider distinguishing sewer back up from drains...

I had my sewer back up a couple of times at different houses "up north". I also lived at the bottom of the hill where my sewer line was usually the first line in from the blockage which was usually at the bottom of the hill. In TV, I bought a house up on a hill(200' above sea level!) to hopefully eliminate sewer backups and so I can have easier beach access as global warming occurs and the sea levels rise. Ha

Well here it is Memorial Day and we have a water backup in the shower. We just closed on the home on Friday so you can understand the frustration. Called the emergency number in the warranty dept and the woman who answered directed me to the number I had to call for the plumber. Called Mike Scott Plumbing at 3;30 pm and by 4:30 Bill was out and fixed the problem. As with new construction something was impeding the flow in the drain. Bill said his snake knotted up on it the first time and then broke thru on the second shot. Said whatever it was it was big. I can't say enough good things about Mike Scott Plumbing. I come from the Cleveland Ohio area and to get this type of service is unheard of, especially on a holiday. Glad we decided to Retire in The Villages.

That stinks but glad the problems was fixed. Congrats on your closing. Where in Cleveland are you from? We're from Parma-I was born in Oberlin and my husband in Fairview Park.. We live in Gilchrest--how about you?--are we neighbors?
