Septic System Ejector Pump & Pumping Warranty Coverage

Protect your budget with a Septic System warranty. Even though your home's septic system can last for decades, it may still experience an occasional malfunction. Your septic pump is a crucial component of the system, so when it malfunctions, you’ll want to get it back in working order. That's where we come in. When you add Septic System Ejector Pump & Pumping coverage to your home warranty plan, you can simply place a service request for a covered issue online or call American Home Shield®.

American Home Shield will pay up to $500 per agreement term for covered repairs for any permanently installed sewage ejector pumps located inside or outside the main foundation of the covered home, connected to either a sewer system or septic system.
