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.
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.
Will the smell go away after cleanup?
Yes. We remove the source first.
Then disinfection and drying handle the rest. Air movers keep air moving while the structure dries. The smell fades as moisture leaves.
Should I call if I only smell sewage?
Yes. Call right away.
Smell without visible water still signals a problem. Sewage can hide under floors and behind walls. It soaks deeper every hour it sits.
Do you work nights and weekends?
Yes. We answer around the clock.
Nights, weekends, and holidays are all covered. Sewage backups do not wait for business hours. Neither do we.
Can sewage backup damage my foundation?
It can damage finishes and framing.
Sewage soaks drywall, subfloor, and framing fast. Quick extraction limits the damage. Slow response means more tear-out.
How fast can you get here?
Our target is 30 to 45 minutes. Real timing depends on where you are.
Dale Mabry Highway and Waters Avenue traffic can slow us down. Dispatch gives you a real window on the call. We never leave you guessing.
