Protection plans for your water and sanitary sewer pipes
Optional repair plans can save you money in an emergency.
The Region of Peel has partnered with Service Line Warranties of Canada (SLWC) to offer homeowners optional, affordable protection from unexpected home repairs.
The repair plans cover the costs of repairing or replacing the following private-side:
- Non-functioning water and sanitary sewer pipes.
- Non-functioning water and sanitary septic pipes.
- Broken interior plumbing systems.
Why we partnered with Service Line Warranties Canada
Our partnership with SLWC benefits residents in the following ways:
- Gives homeowners the option of protecting themselves from costly, unexpected repairs.
- Helps homeowners understand their responsibilities for maintaining, repairing, and replacing their private side pipes. This reduces unnecessary calls resulting in cost savings to the Region and taxpayers.
- Encourages homeowners to report water and sanitary sewer leaks right away. Timely repairs reduce expenses, water loss, and wastewater pollution.
- Allows SLWC to lower coverage prices as more people enrol.

Repair plans are not insurance
SLWC is offering a warranty service. Although the plans use terms like deductible, coverage, and exclusions, they are not insurance. They are a contract pledge to arrange a qualified contractor to repair your service pipes.
We encourage you to check with your home insurance provider before enrolling.
Repair plans are not a Region of Peel program
SLWC is a program partner. They are responsible for all aspects of the repair plans. SLWC was chosen through the Region of Peel’s public procurement process.
If you choose to enroll in a repair plan, understand that the Region of Peel is not responsible for SLWC’s work. We only want you to be aware of these plans since water, sanitary sewer or septic pipe, and interior plumbing repairs can be expensive.
