Value of Home Warrenty

By
Real Estate Agent with Montague Miller and Company
You know the old adage "stuff happens". I was at the final walkthrough with some clients, when we discovered that the master bedroom toilet would not flush. Oh, it would swirl the water around, but just not swallow if you will.

We had done a home inspection and it had been noted that the toilet was not flushing, and the seller had gotten a plumber to come and repair it. They had even had him come back a second time, since the problem came back a few days before closing. They provided 2 invoices showing the problem repaired, at a pretty penny I will add.

So, here we are, with 2 families packed and loaded in moving vans, being held up by a rebellious toilet! American Home Shield to the rescue! Their position was since the plumber had made 2 trips and the toilet was still not working correctly, it was to be replaced.

Yep, that is exactly what they did. In a day, For free, Wow! So, I asked what was the problem with this toilet? The answer surprised me, Blue stuff! You know the blue toilet cleaning stuff you place in the tank. Seems that it is terrible for the system, we shouldn't use it. Go figure. I guess everything wants clear drinking water, hmmmmm.

Imagine! I use those. Guess it's time to stop. One time had a listing with a toilet problem, seems her hair brush was stuck! How could you not notice your brush missing?
