It should. You should request a policy review with your agent. It has to be stated in the policy what is and is not covered.

DO review your policy with your agent. Sewer Backup is typically EXCLUDED from most homeowner's insurance. It CAN be added to a homeowner's policy. Have you read your policy?

Does homeowners insurance cover repairs for septic tank damage?

Possibly. Depending on if you bought an extra endorsement called back up of sewer or sub pump. This is an additional coverage you have to buy on your homeowners. This also depends if what ever happened to the the septic tank was accidental or sudden. If it failed due to poor maintenance, then no the insurance company does not have to cover it. The adjuster will determine when he comes out if its either or. Mark Owner of Denvers Insurance
