Interior Plumbing Lines

Interior Plumbing Lines & Components warranty coverage 

Your interior plumbing lines and components are an integral part of your home, which you rely on every day. Malfunctions can cause significant stress, not to mention major costs, and most plumbing repairs require professional help. Rather than panicking when you discover a covered problem, you can simply place a service request online or call American Home Shield®.

For leaks or breakages of water, gas, drains, waste or plumbing waste vent lines and pipes that occur within a concrete slab or concrete walls of the Covered Home, including cinderblock, the Covered Item Limit is $1,000.
