  • <h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Most Home Warranties Do Not Cover Sprinklers

    Typical home warranty coverage has limitations and exclusions. One common limitation is that the warranty covers nothing outside the home's foundation. Since sprinkler systems are outside the home, this excludes them.

    On the Other: Your Sprinkler System Should Have Its Own Warranty

    Like most other products, sprinkler system parts generally come with a warranty. For example, Rain Bird, a major sprinkler manufacturer, guarantees its products for up to five years. The specific warranty depends on the part. Sprinkler installers generally offer a one year warranty on their work.

    Bottom Line

    Your home warranty coverage will most likely not include sprinkler systems, as they are outside your home. Choose quality products and contractors that offer good warranties on the parts and labor, respectively. This can save you hundreds of dollars if something goes wrong with your sprinkler system.
