Sewage Backup Restoration

Depending on the source of the sewage damage there are a few things to check. If your toilet is clogged, the drain pipe is cracked, or the sump pump is backed up, find your water supply line and turn the valve off. In case you find a leaky pipe you can patch it, pipe tape it, or use a plumber’s putty with a pipe clamp temporarily until you call a plumber. Turn off your main water supply if your pipe bursts and call a sewage cleanup company if your walls, floor, or fixtures are soaked in black water.

Experiencing an emergency situation it is vital to address the problem at hand as soon as possible. Do not hesitate to call your local sewage backup experts. If the sewage damage is not that severe and you prefer not to use your insurance coverage, companies like HCR can always come to you and assess the damage and give you an estimate to help you determine if you want to make a claim. You will want to describe the following: Where the incident occurred. When the sewage source accident occurred. If you smell any odors. Damaged belongings.
