3. PRIORITY REPAIR SERVICE
First, a broken, cracked or leaking gas pipe can create a dangerous situation. If You suspect You have a broken, cracked or leaking gas pipe, think safety first and repairs second. The first thing You should do if You smell gas inside or outside Your home is to leave the area immediately. Use a neighbor’s phone, a pay phone or cell phone, and call Your gas company’s emergency gas service department. It is very important that a gas service technician determines the source of any gas leak and takes appropriate corrective action.

Once a gas leak has been detected and the situation is safe, you should call the Priority Repair Hotline and the Administrator will:

Arrange for a technician to provide a diagnosis of the problem.
Pay for covered Emergency Breakdown. (Subject to limits of liability).

4. REPAIR PROCEDURES
We will not pay for any Service performed without Our prior approval. Notice of any Emergency Breakdown must be given to the Administrator upon discovery and during the coverage term. Once the situation has been declared safe by Your gas company’s service department you must:

Call the 24 hour Emergency Service Hotline immediately at 1-844-GET-HAHA
Cooperate and assist the Administrator in any matter concerning Your Emergency Breakdown.
Provide the technician with access to Your property. You must take every precaution to protect Your property until the necessary repair or replacement or unblocking is authorized by the Us and the work is completed.

IN CERTAIN INSTANCES, SOME OR ALL OF THE NEEDED REPAIRS MAY NOT BE COVERED BY THE PLAN. IF YOU ELECT TO HAVE NON-COVERED REPAIRS PERFORMED (OR REPAIRS BEYOND YOUR PLAN LIMITS), YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY NON-COVERED REPAIR COSTS DIRECTLY TO THE TECHNICIAN.
