Who do I call for a sewer backup in Boca Raton?
Call (888) 408-2165. We answer any time, day or night.
We clean up the mess inside your home. We also tell you whether your street uses sewer or septic. One call covers both.
Is Boca Raton on sewer or septic?
Mostly sewer. The city runs its own utility system.
Boca Raton Utility Services covers most homes inside city limits. Some older pockets near the county line still use septic tanks. Tell our dispatcher your street. We will point you the right way.
Why do Boca Raton yards stay soggy?
Boca Raton sits on a high water table. Canals like the El Rio keep it high.
When the ground is already full of water, septic drain fields slow down. Sewer lines take on groundwater through cracks. The lowest drain in the house backs up first. Homes near the El Rio Canal feel it most after big storms.

Does insurance cover sewage backup?
Most policies do not cover it. You need a backup endorsement on your policy.
Flood damage from storms needs separate flood insurance. Full walkthrough: claim guide.
- Take photos and video before cleanup starts.
- Do not throw anything away until your adjuster says so.
- Ask your agent about backup coverage and flood coverage.
- Ask us for moisture readings and an itemized invoice.
- Note dates and rainfall for storm linked backups.
What about hurricane season?
Wilma hit in 2005. Irma followed in 2017.
After every big storm, flooded lines push sewage back into low homes. Streets near the El Rio Canal feel it first. If a storm just passed, check your lowest drain before you use your plumbing.
Do you pump septic tanks?
No. We clean up inside your home.
We pump out the spill. We disinfect and dry. Tank pumping needs a septic company. Call one and call us at the same time.
How do I lower my risk of another backup?
You cannot control the water table. You can control your drains.
Never pour grease down the drain. It hardens and catches debris.
Flush only toilet paper. Wipes clog lines even when the pack says flushable.
Know where your main sewer cleanout sits. Crews need it fast.
Ask a plumber about a backwater valve. It can stop street surges from entering your home.
Watch for gurgling drains and sewage smells after rain. Call early.
If your street floods often, ask the city about the main line.
Fix dripping faucets and running toilets. Extra water strains the line.
Can I stay in my home during cleanup?
It depends on how far the sewage spread.
One contained room: often yes, with the door shut. Sewage across living areas: stay elsewhere until we finish. Your dispatcher will advise on the call.
How long does drying take?
Most jobs dry in two to four days.
Thick materials and deep soaking take longer. We check moisture at several depths before we call it done.
What does Category 3 black water mean?
It means the water carries sewage and harmful germs.
It is not safe to touch. Everything it soaked needs removal or pro-grade disinfection. Gloves and boots are not enough for it.
Do you work with my insurance adjuster?
Yes. We document everything.
Photos, moisture readings, removed materials, and timeline. You get an itemized invoice your adjuster can use.
What if the backup came from the street main?
We still clean up inside your home.
Report the main to the city as well. Keep your photos and our invoice for any claim.
I'm renting. Who pays for sewage cleanup?
Usually the landlord handles building issues.
Tell them right away and document everything. Call us for the cleanup itself. We bill whoever hires us.
How fast can you get here?
Our target is 30 to 45 minutes. Real timing depends on where you are.
Storms and traffic can slow us down. Dispatch gives you a real window on the call. We never leave you guessing.
