How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Dexter

Drywall wicks sewage up the wall and stays damp inside. The longer it sits, the more likely mold becomes a problem behind the paint.

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

   The crew tests the crawl space or subfloor when sewage may have run beneath the finished floor. Insulation under a floor soaks it up like a sponge.

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

Roughly 36% of homes in these ZIP codes were built in 2000 or later, and most of those have plastic drain pipe. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Dexter was built in the 1980s. Drywall over wood studs is the norm in these houses. The drywall wicks sewage up the wall, and the studs usually stay.

Leaves and debris wash into storm drains in autumn storms, and a flooded street can strain the sewer main. Homes at the low end of a street feel it first. A homeowner decides how fast removal starts and signs the work order. That also means the owner checks the policy for sewer and drain backup coverage.

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.

• Ask about the backup limit and the deductible
• Keep copies of every claim form you send
• Write down who you spoke to and when

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