How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Fingerville

Daily moisture readings show when wood and concrete have dried enough. The crew does not call a room finished on feel alone.

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   The crew checks the electrical situation before powered equipment goes in. Wet outlets and cords stay off until a qualified person has looked at them.

2. Map where the sewage went

   The technician marks the wet line on every wall and notes what each room is made of. That map decides what comes out.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   Hard items such as tile, metal and sealed wood are cleaned and kept when they can be. The crew sorts as it goes.

4. Sanitize, dry and verify

   Concrete, tile and framing get scrubbed with a cleaner, then treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant. Cleaning comes before drying, because drying alone leaves germs behind.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

About 100% of homes in the ZIP codes around Fingerville date from before 1960, when clay and cast iron sewer pipe were common. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Fingerville was built in the 1940s. A pre-1960 home may have stone or brick basement walls. Sewage soaks into masonry and into the old wood framing above it.

An occasional hard freeze can crack exposed drain pipe, and heavy rain in the same year can overload the sewer. Backups come from either one. Lower-floor units take the backflow when a stack or a main blocks. Residents of upper floors should hold off on flushing until the building is cleared.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Many policies that do cover backup set a dollar limit lower than the main dwelling coverage. Ask about the limit and the deductible before the work starts. Coverage depends on the policy.

• Keep copies of every claim form you send
• Keep the plumber's written findings
• Keep the crew's daily moisture logs in the claim folder

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