Frequently Asked Questions
Why is sewage backup considered a health emergency?
Sewage contains dangerous bacteria (E. coli, Salmonella), viruses, parasites, and other pathogens. Exposure can cause serious illness. Professional cleanup with proper PPE and disinfection is essential to protect your family's health.
What materials need to be removed after sewage backup?
Porous materials that contacted sewage typically must be removed: carpet, padding, drywall (up to 2 feet above water line), insulation, and particle board. Non-porous materials can often be sanitized and saved.
How long does sewage cleanup take?
Initial cleanup and sanitization typically takes 1-2 days. Complete restoration including drying and repairs may take 1-2 weeks depending on the extent of damage and materials affected.
Does homeowner insurance cover sewage backup?
Standard policies often exclude sewage backup, but many homeowners add sewage/sump pump backup coverage. Check your policy or contact your agent. We document everything for your claim.
