How Sewage Calls Turned Out

Main line backed up into the basement shower and floor drain. The crew showed up in full suits, sealed off the basement, and cleaned it like a hospital. No smell after they left.

Carmen E.Main line backup, basement

They explained why the carpet and bottom of the drywall had to go. Not what I wanted to hear, but it made sense once they mentioned what is in sewage.

Steve R.Toilet overflow into finished room

I have little kids, so I was worried. They set up an air scrubber and plastic walls so nothing spread upstairs.

FAQ

What People Ask About Sewage Backups

Sewage is Category 3 water, the most contaminated class. It contains bacteria, viruses, and parasites and requires protective gear, removal of porous materials, and disinfection.

Small, contained jobs may be fine. For large backups or vulnerable family members, staying elsewhere is often safer.

A very small hard-surface spill can be cleaned with gloves, boots, and a disinfectant. If sewage reached carpet, drywall, or a large area, professional cleanup is the safer choice.

Many standard policies exclude sewer backup unless you have a specific sewer or drain backup endorsement. Check your policy with your agent.

Common causes include tree roots in the main line, grease buildup, collapsed or bellied pipes, and municipal sewer overloads during heavy rain.

No. A Water Damage is a free referral service connecting you with independent, licensed and insured local contractors who do the work and bill you directly.
