Is Miami Beach on sewer or septic?
Mostly sewer. Miami-Dade Water and Sewer serves the beach.
High-rises and most homes connect to the county system. A few older properties still run septic. Tell our dispatcher your address. We will point you the right way.
Why does Miami Beach flood on sunny days?
King tides push seawater up through storm drains. No rain needed.
When tides run high, seawater fills the storm drains. Groundwater rises with it. Sewer lines take on extra water. The lowest drain in the house backs up first. Sunny day flooding is normal here in the fall.
Street flooding on a sunny day? Check your lowest drain before you flush.

Flood damage from storms needs separate flood insurance. Full walkthrough: claim guide.

- Ask your agent about backup coverage and flood coverage.
- Ask us for moisture readings and an itemized invoice.

What about hurricane season?
Andrew struck south Miami-Dade in 1992. Irma followed in 2017.
After every big storm, surge and rain overwhelm low lines. Streets near the bay 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.
