1. Never heard of sewer line insurance. Why don't you call your homeowners insurance agent and ask them about it.
2. The lines from your house are the City,s resonsablity , never heard of Ins. for sewer lines.
3. Don't bother. The cost wouldn't be worth it. If it goes, then replace it. If it isn't too deep it shouldn't be a big problem. The sewer line rarely goes bad from age. Your incoming water line does. You may never need to concern yourself about it.
4. most insurance companies cover sewer line breakage from your property line including your house. my insurance paid all costs except for old pipe itself i replaced cast iron pipe with pvc pipe insurance even paid my labor and relaying carpet costs. check your insurance
5. I live in Virginia. The Electric Company ( Dominion Power) has a add on policy to the monthly electric bill that can cover Service Lines, both water and sewer. The cost is minimal relative to the cost of paying for a repair like this yourself. I know we discovered the insurance existed after the fact last November. Was $5000 to replace 110 feet with 1" K Copper... ands that was a chheap price. Call your Utility Companies and ask them if they have such a policy. Good Luck!
