Septic Pumps

Septic System Ejector Pump & Pumping warranty coverage 

Protect your budget with a Septic System Ejector Pump & Pumping 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. When a malfunction occurs, you'll want to get it back in working order. That's where we come in. Now when you discover a covered problem, you can simply place a service request online or call American Home Shield. 

American Home Shield will pay up to $500 per contract term for covered repairs to 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.
