Most Sacramento homeowners always think that their home warranty covers any plumbing issues in the house. However, they forget one fact: proof of maintenance is what most home warranty companies require before approving any repair or replacement. At Flowrite Plumbing, we have seen cases where coverage was denied just because a certain part of the plumbing system had not been serviced on time. This is how performing regular maintenance schedules secures your warranty and coverage.
Why Maintenance Matters for Warranty Coverage
Prevents “Neglect” Denials
Home warranty companies can deny claims if they determine a lack of maintenance caused the problem. Issues such as leaks, corrosion, or water heater failure are most often ruled “avoidable” if maintenance was lacking.
Expert Tip: Documented plumbing maintenance helps show the system was properly cared for.
Keeps Systems Running Within Warranty Guidelines
Most warranties state a condition that the plumbing system should be in ‘good working order’. Regular inspection helps nip small problems in the bud-such as slow drains, worn washers, or components of an old water heater, before they become big ones.
Ask your plumber to provide you with written records or digital receipts. Transparency matters: when you schedule service, ask for written records or digital receipts to keep for your warranty file.
Protects Your High-Value Appliances
Water heaters, garbage disposals, and any other appliance connected to the plumbing typically include separate manufacturer warranties. Lack of maintenance will void those as well. Sediment build-up, hard water scaling, and leaks are all considered preventable issues.
See our Water Heater Services page for more tips on prolonging your unit’s lifespan.
Reduces Risk of Major Failures
Licensed plumbers can spot early warning signs such as pipe corrosion, low water pressure or even fixture wear and tear. All these shall be noticed in time before they become emergencies.
It keeps your warranty valid by saving you from paying huge amounts out of your own pocket.
