Do you own your dream ranch style home? Or any home on a slab foundation? A little cutie in Allandale or Highland Hills or another great cental Austin neighborhood? Or are you considering buying a vintage ranch home anywhere in Austin? CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO! If you are getting ready to buy a home on a slab foundation that’s 25 years or older, make SURE you add slab leak coverage to your insurance rider! If you don’t have the appropriate coverage, then THIS might be in your future. I can guarantee—you will not like it! This is Austin and although we end up on all of the Top Ten Lists of the Greatest Places On Earth to Live–if you end up having to re-plumb your house, you will suddenly be less enamored with our fair city. Make it a love affair for the ages. When discussing insurance with your homeowner’s insurance company, tell them to add SLAB LEAK COVERAGE to your policy. It’s a separate line item and you HAVE to ask for it. It’s about 50-100/year. It won’t hurt a bit–in fact, it’s really cheap to add. Don’t be under insured. Your life might stink because of it!
Luckily the folks in this video (us, unfortunately) had SLAB LEAK coverage on their policy. This work ended up costing 75k after 4 months of jack hammering into solid limestone and the slab and replacing all of the old cast iron drains. The homeowners (us, again) paid 3500.00 out of pocket! Worth it? You bet!
Happy flushing!
