I have owned 2 homes and both of them needed to have the main water line replaced.
I enrolled in the Ohio water line program. It is thru the gas company(I think that this is wierd that the gas offers the service & not the water company)
I only pay $3.50 a month and both replacements would of cost me about 2-3K each. I can deal with the yard cleanup. They offer this service as well.
I always sugeest to my inspection clients that you are responsable for the lines from the city service to the home.
I attach this link to there report. http://retail.dom.com/products/warranty/oh_waterline.jsp
With the litigation concerns with are profession the last thing I need is a client to file a complaint that I didnt note the leaking main line.
If the meter is running and there is no water on there is a good chance of a leak. This is how I knew mine was leaking.
Do other states offer this program? If they do you should pass this on to your clients.
