What Could It Cost Without a Program?

On a program, 5 years$75,000Same price every year. No emergency rates.
Without a program, 5 years$136,750+Non-contract pricing, emergency rates and one backup claim.

Example only, not a quote. Assumes non-contract work runs 25% higher, two emergency call-outs at about $4,000 each, and one sewer backup claim. Typical sewer backup claims average in the mid-$30,000s (MIIA, citing Claims Journal), and uninsured backups typically cost homeowners $20,000 to $50,000 (IRMI, via Marsh). Documented maintenance can also help a city defend a claim.
