Septic System FAQs

Yes, you can add septic ejector pump & pumping coverage to your home warranty plan at the point of purchase.

Septic ejector pump & pumping coverage includes mainline stoppages that can be cleared through an existing access point or without excavation, and the sewer ejector pump. The septic tank will be pumped once during your contract term if the stoppage is due to septic backup. To see what is specifically covered, as well as limitations and exclusions, please view the page details above or the plan agreement. 

Septic pump coverage runs concurrently with your annual home warranty plan. 

You can purchase the septic pump coverage when you purchase your home warranty plan, or during the renewal period when your contract expires.

You can place your first service request 30 days after you sign up for your plan. Service requests can easily be placed 24/7 online via MyAccount or by calling 1-888-691-2854 during standard business hours to request service.
