Protect Your Sewer Line
This spring is the perfect time to take proactive steps in protecting your home from an unexpected sewer line failure. If you haven’t already, consider investing in sewer line insurance. It’s an affordable way to safeguard your home from an expensive sewer line repair.
A sewer line failure can be a homeowner’s worst nightmare with repair bills reaching as high as $20k-40k! Older homes are especially vulnerable to sewer line problems. A variety of factors can contribute to sewer line damage including invasive tree roots, shifting ground, and even temperature fluctuations.

With their Sewer Line Repair Plan, they will assist you in finding a trusted local plumber or contractor, and you will pay $0 for any covered repairs.

Before the high temperatures of summer get here, it’s best to make sure your HVAC system is ready to handle them.
HVAC Maintenance
Have a trusted HVAC professional give your system a tune-up and check for any necessary repairs. Besides extending the life of your HVAC system, a spring maintenance check-up will catch any issues before the hot weather rolls into town. Finding someone to fix HVAC problems when the hot weather first arrives could be difficult and might leave you without air conditioning for many days or weeks while you wait for an available technician. Give Ellen’s go-to HVAC guy, Devin from IM HVAC, a call at 816-739-6525 for all of your HVAC needs!
