Home Maintenance: Never Lose Another Warranty or Repair Record


The Reality: Chaos When Things Break

Mark, a homeowner for eight years, wakes up to a leaking water heater. He remembers replacing it a few years ago—but was it three years or five? Was it still under warranty? Which plumber did the work? What was their number?

He searches through kitchen drawers filled with random receipts, checks old emails, and finally calls three different plumbers before finding the right one. Two hours wasted discovering his warranty expired six months ago. If he'd known sooner.
