Plumbing Leak under Driveway

April 11, 2016

This question involves a DWG 3 ISO policy. A toilet overflowed and caused interior damage. The plumber ran a camera and determined there was a break in the line under the driveway. Therefore, the plumber had to trench ten feet under concrete in order to repair the pipes and flush the system. We know the interior damage is covered, but is the trenching covered under the policy?

Yes, there is coverage. Coverage exists for overflow of a plumbing system on the described location, including tear out and replacement of any part of a building or other structure. The driveway is an other structure.
