Default Re: Water and Sewer Line Insurance. Do I need this?

it might depend on how old the house (and therefore the existing piping) is. my parents bought a house that was 30 years old and had no issues for about 4 years. then they had about 2 years of back-to-back major water a sewer issues. blech! turns out the pipes that had been used were wearing thin so to speak and one of them got punctured when a plumber ran a 'snake' through the system to address a previous clog issue (which turned out to be tree roots growing through the pipe!). FYI, their homeowners actually covered water damage due to the burst water pipe...
