City of Marshalltown Celebrates Repair Milestone with SLWA
Over $1MM Spent in Claims since beginning of Partnership
Marshalltown, IA – November 17th 2020– Almost 9 years ago, the City of Marshalltown began a partnership with Service Line Warranties of America (SLWA), a leading home service repair plan provider, to offer Marshalltown residents the option to sign up for service plans to protect against the high cost of emergency repairs to their exterior service lines.
Over the past year, SLWA passed $1,000,000 in repair costs and savings for Marshalltown residents. Furthermore, homeowners who have needed service since the program’s inception report a 97% satisfaction rate.
“We entered into this partnership to help protect our customers who might not be aware that they are responsible for the maintenance and repair of utility service lines on their property,the City of Marshalltown’s water and sewer infrastructure is aging, just like the rest of the nation’s, and more and more homeowners in the area are discovering that their exterior pipes must be repaired or replaced. This partnership with SLWA gives residents peace of mind, and it’s helping our community, too.”
“When a homeowner’s water line breaks or sewer line becomes blocked, it can be an overwhelming situation. All of a sudden, you’re looking at hundreds or even thousands of dollars for a problem you probably didn’t even know existed the day before,” said Tom Rusin, CEO of HomeServe USA. “While we can’t prevent pipes from breaking or being blocked, HomeServe is there to relieve Marshalltown customers of the stress of finding and scheduling a qualified contractor and the cost of completing the repair. We’re proud to offer this service to the City of Marshalltown homeowner community.”
