Sewage Backup Services in San Quentin

Each service below has its own page for San Quentin, CA.

• Basement Sewage Backup Removal

  Carpet, pad, cardboard and low drywall soak up sewage and come out, while concrete and studs are scrubbed and kept.

• Floor Drain Sewage Backup Removal

How Sewage Backup Removal Works in San Quentin

Carpet and pad hold sewage against the subfloor. Pulling them out early gives mold less to grow on and cuts the germs sitting in the house.

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   Plastic sheeting and sealed paths protect the dry rooms. Foot traffic through clean areas stays to a minimum.

2. Map where the sewage went

   Photos go into the claim file before anything moves. The crew records each room, each drain and each damaged material.

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

   Odor control follows the cleaning. A smell that lingers often means a wet spot remains, so the crew looks again instead of masking it.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Flood insurance and homeowners insurance cover different events. Sewage that comes up a drain is usually a backup claim and not a flood claim. Ask your insurer which one applies to your loss.

• Report the loss to the insurer right away
• Keep copies of every claim form you send
• Photograph the outdoor cleanout if it overflowed

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