Does insurance cover sewage backup?

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.
Keep your sewer cleanout cap visible. Do not bury it under mulch or soil.
Do not plant trees near your sewer line. Roots seek water and crack pipes.
After heavy rain, check your lowest drain first. Catch problems early.
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 soon should I call after a backup?
Right away. Every hour sewage sits, it soaks deeper.
Call (888) 408-2165 as soon as you see it. Fast calls mean smaller jobs.
Will the smell go away after cleanup?
Yes. We disinfect every surface and dry the structure fully.
