Toilet Warranty Coverage

While bathrooms come in every style, from luxurious to basic, the need for a properly functioning toilet is one thing they all share. And while most toilets are designed to last for years, malfunctions can definitely occur. That's where we come in. Having the right coverage can make it a lot easier to keep your toilets functioning as they should. Rather than panicking when you discover a covered problem, you can simply call American Home Shield.

Toilets are covered in our ShieldSilver, ShieldGold and ShieldPlatinum plans along with other Home Systems and Appliances.
