Home guarantees often cover common plumbing problems, such as leaks, problems with pipes, and problems with toilets, showers, and bathtubs. Coverage for items such as spas and pools, septic tanks, water softeners, and external sewer lines may vary and may require additional coverage options. The home warranty covers pipes inside the house, so pipes outside the house or under the tile are not covered. Depending on your homeowner's insurance, your insurance policy may cover tile leaks.
Most home guarantees do cover plumbing. However, plumbing isn't always included in basic plans, so be sure to review your plan before signing up for a policy. Because plumbing repairs are labor-intensive and require specialized knowledge and advanced math skills, hiring plumbers is expensive.
