Now if you have coverage for accidental water discharge damage on your policy. Although it will not pay to drain the septic tank, Once you have done that, your coverage will invoke if some of your covered property or belongings was accidentally damaged as result of this unintended water discharge. But first you have to fix the instigator, you have to have the septic tank drain and serviced back into working order.
