Many homeowner’s don’t realize their homeowner insurance policy don’t usually cover the cost related to septic or sewer line breaks or leaks, especially if the problem is the result of lack of maintenance or gradual deterioration. If you are filing an insurance claim, the adjuster will probably ask you some questions about your septic system.
The first question the insurance adjuster usually ask is about how often your septic system was inspected and routine maintenance. If either one is not done or a regular basis, no matter how much damage is done to your home, your claim will probably be denied.
Basically it comes down to if you keep your septic system regularly pumped and maintained the odds are you won’t have to make an insurance claim. If you don’t keep up with the maintenance on your septic system and something happens, your insurance company probably won’t cover it. For example, if you notice your yard is soggy from your drainage field, though you just noticed, it occurred over an extended period of time and probably wouldn’t be covered.
Some Warning Signs To Look For
Slow Drains
If you notice your drains are slow, backing up or your toilets are gurgling or making funny sounds, it usually means your septic tank needs to be pumped out as soon as possible.
Foul Odor
A backed up septic tank or a ruptured pipeline may produce foul odors, either indoors or out. Smelly situations usually means it is time for a check up.
Back up or Overflow
When the septic tank is full the wastewater has to go somewhere. It can overflow back into the house and into the surrounding soil, both need immediate attention.
