A service utility line breakdown can cost thousands of dollars
A breakdown to a service utility line can cost a building owner or a business thousands of dollars in repairs and downtime. Many small business owners assume those breakdowns are covered under their business owner policy (BOP). The building owner or business is responsible for underground piping and wiring to the building, including those for:
- Water
- Electricity
- Gas
- Heating
- Communications, including cable and data lines
Helps pay costs for service line failures
HSB’s Service Line coverage can be added to a BOP to help close the property coverage gap. It covers multiple types of utility lines and can help pay for breakdowns caused by:
- Deteriorating lines
- Accidents with tools and machinery during excavations
- Damage from heavy equipment moving above underground lines
- Freezing
- Erosion
- Root invasion
Covers loss of income and other expenses
Small businesses will get additional benefits with HSB Commercial Service Line coverage. It also covers costs for:
- Loss of business income
- Expediting expenses
- Efficiency improvements
- Spoilage of perishable goods
