How to join the "shield" program

---

1. The certified septic inspector shall complete the Shield inspection report form and submit the completed Inspection to Shield Septic Insurance Inc. If there is more than one (1) on-site wastewater treatment facility on the property, the qualified inspector shall complete an Inspection report form for each system on the property. Qualified inspectors are required to completely and accurately complete the form to the best of their knowledge and provide photos. 
2. Shield Septic will provide the completed inspection report form and any other documents relating to permitting, operation and maintenance of the on-site wastewater treatment facility to the homeowner.
3. Any recommendation (depending on severity) provided to Septic Shield or homeowner will need to be completed before membership activation is completed. 
4. Assuming no repairs are necessary the homeowner will receive an email informing them that the $100.00 membership activation fee per system has been invoiced and is ready to be paid. The email will include instructions on how to remit payment. 
5. A recurring monthly payment will be drafted form the designated account on sign up.  Once a member (depending on program) Septic Shields will be responsible for any and all servicing and/or repairs of the septic system. 

Congratulations!!! Your now signed up for Septic Shield septic warranty program... Septic Shield will be responsible for any and all routine servicing and/or repairs of the septic system (depending on program). When routine maintenance is due Septic Shield will provide a email and phone call to the homeowner that service is due. The homeowner will then be contacted by a local licensed Contractor for service date and time arrangements. And once the contractor is completed Septic Shield will be billed for the work completed. No more out of pocket expenses!!
