Pennsylvania Dwelling Fire Insurance
The dwelling fire insurance program was design to provide coverage for an owner or tenant occupied dwelling or mobile home on an actual cash value basis for residential purposes. The policy is ideal for rental dwellings (up to 4 units); and seasonal dwellings. We offer Basic, Broad, and Special coverage forms. Liability coverage can be added and is optional. The Broad & Special coverage forms also provides coverage for related private structures, personal property, and extra expense or loss of rents but these can be added by endorsement to the Basic form. We also offer our Home Systems Protection (equipment breakdown) with Service Line coverage for dwellings that can be added to enhance your policy. For more details see Home System Protection and Service Line coverages.

Bedford Grange Mutual’s Service Line coverage pays to repair or replace your homeowner-owned, exterior underground water and sewer piping, electrical service lines and data lines that fail and are damaged.
The program fills a critical coverage gap for you; the homeowner, who often don’t realize they are responsible for the repair or replacement of the outdoor underground service lines from the main connection usually at the street to their house, and behind their house to a well, septic tank, or an out-building when damaged due to a service line failure.
You may also have to pay for your damaged outdoor property such as trees, shrubs and driveways when damaged as a result. Know that service line failures are not covered by the typical homeowner insurance coverage forms.
You would be covered for a service line failure defined as physical damage that results in a leak, break, tear, rupture or collapse of a pipe or line. Physical damage can be caused by external events such as root invasion, deterioration, freezing and electrical arcing.
