January 15, 2025

1. Leaky Faucets or Pipes

A dripping faucet or a small pipe leak may seem like a minor inconvenience, but over time, it can lead to:

  • Higher water bills

  • Mold growth and water damage

  • Structural weakening

Address these issues as soon as they arise. A Home Warranty Plan from ServicePlus can cover plumbing repairs, saving you time and money.

2. Faulty Electrical Systems

Flickering lights, frequent circuit breaker trips, or outlets that don’t work can signal deeper electrical problems. Ignoring them poses serious risks, including:

  • Fire hazards

  • Damage to appliances

  • Complete electrical failure

Get professional help immediately to address any electrical issues. Many of these are covered under a comprehensive home warranty service at ServicePlus.

3. Roof Damage

Missing shingles, leaks, or sagging sections of your roof can quickly escalate into major problems like:

  • Water damage inside your home

  • Energy inefficiency

  • Compromised structural integrity

Inspect your roof regularly and repair any issues promptly to avoid costly replacements. Protect your budget with a Total Home Warranty Service.

4. Malfunctioning HVAC System

Your heating and cooling system works hard to keep your home comfortable year-round. Delaying repairs can result in:

  • Higher energy bills

  • Uneven heating or cooling

  • Complete system failure during extreme weather

Ensure regular maintenance and rely on a Home Warranty Plan to cover unexpected HVAC repairs. Learn more at ServicePlus.

5. Foundation Cracks

Small cracks in your foundation might seem harmless, but they can lead to:

  • Water intrusion and flooding

  • Compromised structural stability

  • Decreased property value

Hire a professional to evaluate and repair foundation issues immediately. While not all foundation repairs are covered under home warranties, addressing plumbing or HVAC problems related to foundation shifts is often included.
