• Floor Drain Sewer Backup Cleanup

How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Mineral

Mold needs moisture, something to feed on and a little time. A sewage backup supplies all three in one afternoon. Call Sewer Backup Cleanup Team now, and a crew can start taking them away.

1. Extract the sewage

   Standing sewage is the first thing to go. The extraction specialist picks a pump for the depth and a wand tool for carpet and tight corners, and keeps going until the floor stops giving up liquid.

2. Map where it traveled

   Baseboards, door casings and cabinet toe-kicks are checked first, since sewage wicks upward there. The numbers tell the crew how high the cut needs to go.

3. Cut out what it soaked

   Drywall is cut above the water line, usually a little higher to catch wicking. The crew removes the wet section, bags it and leaves clean framing exposed to dry.

4. Sanitize, dry and check

   The job is done when the readings reach the goal, not when a surface feels dry. The final log goes into the file, and the equipment comes out.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

If the blockage sat in the city main, the sewer authority may have its own claim process. Rules and deadlines differ from town to town. The pipe from the house to the street is often the homeowner's job, though some cities own the part under the road.

• Keep receipts for hotel stays and emergency supplies
• Ask the city about its claim process when the main may be blocked
• Ask what the backup limit and the deductible are

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
