The technician and First American will keep you up to date with the claims process until your well pump is fixed or replaced.

Well pump insurance coverage is provided by your homeowners insurance company and covers damage or loss due to natural disasters, accidents, and other events that might happen.

Home warranty coverage for well pumps protects you from unexpected repair or replacement costs, up to a $1,500 limit, when covered breakdowns occur due to normal wear and tear.
