Warranties & coverage
ABOUT OUR WARRANTIES
The homes we fully inspect qualify for an 18-month home warranty for a 12-month price, as well as the additional coverage below.
The 18-Month Home Warranty offers the broadest coverage for the longest term on the market and is the least expensive warranty option per month. Get the best home warranty available and request the 18-Month Home Warranty for your real estate transaction.
Have our company complete your home inspection. Request the 18-Month Home Warranty from Residential Warranty Services (the best coverage available today). At the time of purchase, 6 free months will be added to the warranty term, totaling 18 months for the price of 12.
If we do not inspect the home, a 12-Month Home Warranty is still available.

125 DAY WARRANTY
Covers mechanical and structural items that were tested to be in working condition at the time of the inspection but later fail. Most kitchen appliances, HVAC (up to ten years of age), electrical, plumbing, roof leaks, foundations, washer/dryer, garage door openers etc.
MOLDSAFE
If there were no visible mold or moisture issues reported during the course of your home inspection and in your home inspection report, this agreement covers the remediation (removal) of visible mold on services that could have been seen by the home inspectors.
PLATINUM ROOF PROTECTION PLAN
During the inspection, weather conditions (lack of recent rain) may prevent roof leaks from being noticed and future leaks cannot be predicted by a home inspector. This plan covers future leaks as well as any that could not be found due to weather conditions at the time of inspection.
RADON PROTECTION PLAN
When a radon test result is below the EPA action level, there is a 120-day policy that will cover up to $1,200 to install a new radon mitigation system, when a second radon test comes back above the EPA action level. If the home has an active mitigation system, the policy is extended to 12 months from inspection.
SEWERGARD PLUS
Covers repairs to the underground plumbing waste and main water supply line for failures that were not an issue at the time of inspection. If a sewer scope was performed with the inspection then the warranty goes from 125 days to a full 12 months from inspection.
NXT STRUCTURAL WARRANTY
The 12 month $100,000 policy from the inspection date covers major structural issues with the full home inspection. No age limits, guaranteed repairs, and you can choose your own contactor.
