New Washington State Homebuyers Program From National Water Company Provides $10,000 Insurance Policy

SEATTLE, May 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- A new program from National Water Company for homebuyers is underway. Responsible real estate agents should be directing homebuyers to get sewer line inspections on all used home purchases, and many Realtors in the Puget Sound area are already doing this, using sewer inspection companies that charge around $250 for the inspection, reporting, and repair recommendations. This ensures that a sewer line does not need immediate repair, for which an unsuspecting buyer would be responsible as soon as the papers are signed. Now Realtors, home sellers, and homebuyers can use the National Water Company inspection service and receive a one-year $10,000 insurance policy at no additional cost.

Residential sewer line repair work is exceptionally expensive, which can be devastating to a homebuyer who just paid out all of their savings for a down payment and moving expenses. Costs to excavate, repair, and return landscaping to its previous condition can have serious financial consequences. Without an inspection, a potential homebuyer has no way of knowing the sewer lines' condition. An inspection before purchase can safeguard homebuyers from both misery and expense.

"Regardless of which sewer inspection company you choose, having an inspection done before you sign the papers on that used home is a must," says Jeff Johnson of National Water Company (NWC). Johnson says his company has inspected thousands of sewer lines over the years and has been issuing residential water and sewer line insurance policies in Washington State since 2010. This company is one of just two that have a licensed product for this type of insurance risk though the Office of the Washington State Insurance Commissioner. "Homes currently on the market are not eligible for this insurance without the inspection first," says Johnson. He adds, "But we will consider those properties that have an inspection report from another licensed sewer line inspection firm."

Common sewer line problems are cracks, breaks, root intrusion at the joints, offsets that impede flow, thin or weak pipe walls, or even collapse. National Water Company advises homeowners that a sewer line inspection should consist of the following: video inspection of the entire sewer line all the way to the city connection with video provided to the paying party, written report of issues that need correction with clear explanation of the problem and its exact location and depth, and the overall condition of the pipe material.

To schedule an inspection call 1-800-790-3201.
